Gables Farm — Boarding Kennel

A boarding stay at Gables Farm also supports its work as an animal rescue centre: all proceeds from the boarding service go back into the charity. For owners leaving a dog, a cat or both, that charitable purpose sits alongside accommodation with indoor resting spaces and covered outdoor runs.

The dog kennels each have a heated indoor sleeping area and a covered outdoor run. In the cattery, indoor pens have heat pads, with covered outside runs providing another space for cats to spend time. Scratching equipment and toys add opportunities for feline play and grooming. Feeding is provided for both species, and specialised menus can accommodate dietary needs or veterinary instructions. Keepers live on the premises, and external veterinary assistance is available around the clock for emergencies.

Gables Farm is in Plymouth, Devon, a city whose maritime history includes the Mayflower’s departure for America in 1620. Its character also reflects more recent rebuilding, with post-war architecture in the centre following the bombing of the Second World War. At the northwestern edge of the city, Plymouth includes part of the protected Tamar–Tavy estuary, which extends beyond the municipal boundary.
