Blue Cross

Blue Cross is a UK animal welfare charity focused on improving the lives of pets and their owners. The organisation provides veterinary care, rehoming services, behaviour and wellbeing advice, support for owners who are struggling to care for their animals, and educational resources about responsible pet care. Blue Cross aims to ensure every pet receives compassionate treatment and that owners get the support they need to keep pets safe and healthy.

Blue Cross operates nationwide throughout the UK, running rehoming centres, veterinary practices and community outreach programmes that help pets and owners across England, Scotland and Wales. Its services range from emergency treatment and rehabilitation to low-cost clinics and guidance for long-term pet care.

Blue Cross Charity Shops

Blue Cross runs a network of charity shops across the UK offering pre-loved clothing, accessories, books, pet-related gifts and household items. Proceeds from these shops help fund pet care, veterinary treatment and rehoming services. Most shops accept donations of suitable second-hand goods and welcome volunteers to help with store operations, providing a way for supporters to contribute directly to animal welfare.
