Apart from guide and hearing dogs, you are not allowed to keep cats or dogs in our sheltered housing as they may cause a nuisance, disturbance or even a hazard for other residents. However, this does not apply if you live in one of the bungalows attached to a sheltered housing scheme. For all other properties, we do not object to you keeping caged birds, fish or other small caged pets, as long as they are properly cared for and do not cause a nuisance. If you need to go into hospital or are going away for a period of time, please arrange for your pet to be properly cared for by a neighbour or relative.
