About

We opened in 1990 and have facilities for 25 dogs, 21 cats, 14 rabbits and  other small pets. We also have numerous paddocks and stables to care for up to 60 horses.

We welcome visitors to our centre however, we operate a closed kennels, cattery and stables to minimise the stress on our pets. Please call the centre so we can advise you on the rehoming process or visit our online page to view pets available for rehoming. We recommend to call ahead of your visit to avoid disappointment. 

If you are looking for a pet please read about the rehoming process and view our pets looking for new homes.

Home Direct Scheme

Our Home Direct Scheme is for dogs, cats, horses, 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.

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 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]
