We first opened in 1988 and our modern facilities have space for dogs cats, purpose-built puppy and kitten facilities and our own veterinary facilities.
Our Rehoming Team is dedicated to finding the right pet for you. If you are interested in a pet on our website please complete a rehoming form in the first instance, you can find this on the pet’s profile page. To help us understand the type of pet you are looking for please call us.
To see which pets are available on our website please visit our rehome a pet page. You can see pets available at all our locations or narrow your search more locally. Our pages are updated regularly so please keep visiting them.
We run a closed cattery and kennels which means they are not open for public viewing. This is to keep stress to a minimum for the pets in our care.
You can visit between 11.00am and 4.00pm to drop off a donation or ask for advice. We are closed to visitors without a pre-booked appointment on Wednesdays. You cannot visit to see a pet without an appointment.
Most of our dogs, cats and small pets are looked after by our fantastic team of foster carers. If we do have pets in our centres, we are unable to facilitate the public visiting them as it can be stressful and disruptive for the pets in our care.
If you visit our centre we'll be happy to talk you through the adoptions process but you will not be able to look at any pets. If you are matched to one of our pets following an application to adopt, we'll invite you to meet them by appointment.
Our team are here to help. So, whether it’s about volunteering, donating, pet advice or information on how to adopt a pet, we’ll talk you through.
You’ll need to apply to adopt a pet on our website. This is to make sure the application process is as fair as possible to everyone. If we think you’ll be a good match for one of our pets, we’ll contact you to start the process.
Our Home Direct scheme is for dogs, cats, rabbits and other small pets whose owners can sadly no longer keep them but don’t need to find them a new home straight away. Pets stay in their existing home until a new owner is found for them. All pets go through our careful assessment and matching process.
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 animals in your own home while they are recuperating from operations or illness, 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 [email protected].
Buy our pets a treat or purchase something to help our centre be the best it can be.
