Give a gift of hope this Christmas
Have you seen our new Christmas Catalogue? You’ll find a great range of cards, gifts and goodies for you and your pets. Or, you can give an alternative gift package to a friend and help the vulnerable animals in our care this Christmas.

Pets for Life - we need your help
The Blue Cross believes that pets should be for life but many older people have to give up their pet when they go into residential care.  Do you know someone who has been forced to give up their pet?  If so we want to hear from you.  Please contact our press office on 020 7932 4060 or press@bluecross.org.uk. 

Tickets on sale for The Blue Cross Christmas Carol Concert
Animal lovers of all ages are encouraged to join the festivities at The Blue Cross Christmas Carol Concert on 11 December. Held at the lovely St Peter's Church in London, guests will enjoy carols by the famous English Chamber Choir and readings by special guest, Pam Ferris.

Our current appeals
The Blue Cross receives no funding from the government, so we are reliant on the generosity of animal lovers to help fund rebuilding projects like those at our Thirsk and Southampton adoption centres.

Help Hill's help The Blue Cross
Hill's, manufacturers of Science Plan pet food, will donate £2 to The Blue Cross with every activation of a unique code found on specially stickered packs of Science Plan. Support The Blue Cross with Hill's here.
