Our Centre

Leicester Animal Aid has been in operation since 1956. At our site in Huncote, we provide care for up to 30 cats and 40 dogs at any one time in purpose-built, quality accommodation. 

Each and every animal receives good food, veterinary care and lots of individual attention to help them feel secure and loved, perhaps for the first time in their lives. 

Visiting our Centre

L.A.A. is based in Huncote, LE9 3LE, around 20 minutes from Leicester city centre and 10 minutes from Fosse Park / M1 Junction 21.

Our Kennels and Cattery are open for public viewing on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Our reception and reception shop are open daily and our two on-site charity shops are open Tuesdays to Saturdays.

Enrichment

Enrichment is as important for an animal's mental health as it is for physical health. That's why our animals are kept busy with games, toys, training and plenty of love and affection.
