Tiverton rehoming centre
Welcome to Tiverton rehoming centre. We have cats and dogs looking for loving homes.
We have a pet care clinic for people who can’t afford private vets’ fees in the EX5, EX15, EX16 and EX17 postcode areas. Please give us a ring for more information.
We opened in 1985 and we have a kennel block for 32 dogs, 16 cat units and an isolation unit for both dogs and cats. In 1999 a further isolation block was built with 14 cat units for nursing mums and kittens and new arrivals, as well as a puppy/dog isolation unit with three kennels.
If you are looking for a pet please read about the rehoming process and have a look at our pets looking for new homes.

Short-term volunteer foster caring
Become a volunteer short term foster carer for pets at Blue Cross and help improve the welfare of the animals in our care. As a volunteer foster carer you will look after needy animals in your own home while they are recuperating from operations, or illnesses, or young kittens or puppies until they are able to find a permanent new home. If you live within 45 minutes of the centre and are interested in this rewarding volunteer role, please email fostering@bluecross.org.uk.
