We receive no funding from the government, local authorities or the Lottery and depend upon donations from the public to survive.

Since it was founded in 1883 The Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home has been caring for lost and abandoned dogs and cats.  We try, whenever possible, to find new and loving homes for all our animals and are passionate about what we do and how we do it.  We aim to show that pet ownership, although challenging at times, can be one of the most rewarding things you can do.

Celebrity Vet visits The Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home

Celebrity vet, Joe Inglis, visited the Home just before Christmas to cook up a special meal for our dogs.

Joe, aptly dressed as Santa, cooked up a delicious Christmas dinner for our dogs using only natural healthy ingredients. Several of our residents were happy to sample Joe’s food – and judging from their excitement, they thought it was delicious. In fact, they just couldn’t get enough and can’t wait for Joe to come back and cook some more special dinners for them!
