A gift in your Will
Leaving a gift in your Will to Blue Cross ensures your love for pets lives on. More than half the work Blue Cross do is made possible through gifts in Wills, so your gift will help us support pets who are sick, injured and homeless for many years to come.

Over 120 years of caring for pets in need
Gifts left by generous supporters in their Wills help us continue to give vulnerable pets the support and happiness they need and deserve. We opened the world’s first animal hospital in 1906 and since then our doors have never closed to sick and homeless pets. With your help, they never will.
In the future, legacy donations will be even more crucial for us. We aim to double the number of pets in need that we help across our animal hospitals and rehoming centres. Last year, without gifts in Wills, 4,000 unwanted pets could still be looking for a home, 13,000 poorly animals could still need veterinary care and more than 1,300 unhappy pets could be waiting for consultations with our Behaviour Team.
Whatever you are able to give will be so very gratefully received and put to the best possible use – caring for the dogs, cats, small pets and horses that need us. Please consider a gift to Blue Cross in your Will after remembering your loved ones.
