Animal Experience Days at Cheltenham Animal Shelter
About this Event
Our three-hour Animal Experience sessions are a unique opportunity for young people aged 5-16 years old to attend the shelter during the school holidays to meet our animals and learn about responsible pet ownership and pet safety in a fun, relaxed environment.
During the session, the children will get to create a craft or enrichment item, learn about how to safely interact with animals and understand their behaviour, as well as experiencing an animal interaction with some of our rescue animals which includes dogs, cats, and small animals.
*Please note animals participating on our Animal interaction sessions are dependent on what suitable animals we have at the time of the session*
Please note whilst parents are not permitted to stay our sessions are inclusive and cater for all disabilities and additional requirements. Therefore if 1:1 support is required for attendance parents/ guardians are of course welcome to attend.
