You may need to contact a local kennel or cattery to look after your cats or dogs when you are in hospital if there is no one to look after them. You should be able to find details of these in your local telephone directory. You could also ask your local veterinary surgeon.
Some information is also included in the directory 'A - Z of services for older people' linked on this page. This also provides details of an emergency pet home and cattery in Farnley. You could also contact the following organisations who may be able to assist:
