Blue Cross joins with Lackham College

The Blue Cross animal adoption centre in Burford, Oxfordshire, is supporting a new cat rehoming initiative from Wiltshire College’s Lackham campus.

The college has started a cattery for homeless animals as part of its ongoing training and commitment to animal welfare, and The Blue Cross is offering support and guidance to ensure the highest standards of animal care and rehoming procedures are followed.

Steve Goody, the director of companion animal welfare at The Blue Cross said: “We are happy to support Wiltshire College in this project and feel that by working together we can produce the best results for the homeless cats and the students studying at the college.”

Hayley Monaghan, Lackham’s senior animal technician, said: “This venture will provide an exciting new platform to deliver courses to students at high industry standards”.
