Today is , and we want to celebrate brave Nora, who saved the life of another kitten who was on the brink of death. 💙

Cookie arrived with us weighing just 350g and suffering from flea anaemia and conjunctivitis.

At just eight-weeks-old, she needed a blood transfusion, and it was fate when Nora, was a match and could donate some blood.

These cases don’t always have a happy ending, but for Cookie the blood transfusion saved her.

Thank you, Nora for lending your paw to another cat in need. 🐾

Calling all dog lovers! 📢 We need your help to get this post some attention.

Juno has been reserved to be adopted three times now, but they keep falling through and she doesn't understand why.

Gentle and loving, she'd happily play and explore all day if she could. You'd never guess that Juno is also blind. Sadly, we think the thought of any additional needs she may have are putting people off. But the team are confident she'll settle into a new home really well and could even get on with most other dogs or dog-savvy cats!

Can we find Juno the home she so deserves? 👉 https://bit.ly/3O45I28

This , we honour the men, women, and animals of war who sacrificed so much. 💙

You can pay your respects to some of the animals that served, like Simba, by visiting The Old Blue Cross Pet Cemetery. 🐾 This cemetery marks the final resting places of pets that belonged to service personnel, as well as pets of members of the local community.

Our Blue Cross Fund supported animals during both the First and Second World Wars, and we take great pride in our heritage.

Poor Lucy. 💔 Through no fault of her own, she's found herself returned to our care after a change in circumstances meant her new home didn't work out.

It has now been over 30 years since the infamous Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 was passed. 💔 This piece of legislation is renowned for being ill-considered, hastily created, and poorly drafted.

That's why we're calling for a complete repeal. Help us make that happen by writing to your local MP in support of our pet manifesto. 👉 https://bit.ly/3C2UOak

Pregnant stray Tigerlily wasn't even a year old herself when she was brought into our hospital, moments away from giving birth. 💗

Although one was sadly stillborn, the other four kittens were healthy and transferred along with Mum to foster care. As you can see they've gone from strength to strength!

This young family are among an unprecedented number of cats and kittens finding themselves in our care. We encourage everyone to neuter their pets so no cat ends up alone and in need like Tigerlily.

This may be a distressing watch. ⚠ Captured on CCTV by one of our horse borrowers, a spontaneous fireworks display in a nearby field shows the devastating effect of explosive bangs and flashing lights on horse welfare. 💔

This borrower hadn't been informed of the planned fireworks display taking place so close to her field, otherwise she would have taken the necessary steps to keep these horses as safe as possible. However, we’re still urging people to reconsider planning or attending bonfire night displays altogether and instead, consider pets and wildlife.

When three tiny kittens were left on our hospital doorstep in the early hours of the morning, it was touch and go whether they would survive. 💔 But brought inside to warm up in the nick of time, apart from being covered in fleas, the kittens appeared to be in good health.

Estimated to be around five or six weeks old, they were too young to have been separated from their mother. But with round the clock care in an amazing foster home, they grew stronger by the day.

Having been abandoned so close to Halloween, we couldn't resist naming them after a very famous family! Can you guess which one? 👻🎃

We know abandoning a pet could only be someone's last resort, so we urge anyone that is struggling to look after their pets to come directly to us so we can help, with no judgment. Thankfully little fighters Gomez, Morticia and Wednesday will soon be on their way to new families for a fresh start.

Let's bust those black cat myths for good! 🖤

Sadly some still consider black cats to be superstitious, which can make them harder to rehome. We couldn't disagree more. In reality, the only supernatural powers that black cats possess are ones of unconditional love and affection, just like any other cat.

💙Meet Pumpkin, Treacle and Toffee💙

👝This little trio were found in abandoned in a bag and initially taken to a private vets before transferring to us.

😕They were all suffering from upset stomachs, fleas and worms.

🧫Test showed they were suffering from Coccidia.

🔬Coccidia is a microscopic parasites that live in the intestines of cats and cause a gastrointestinal infection called coccidiosis.🦠

💊Pumpkin, Treacle and Toffee are now all on treatment for this.

🐱They are an adorable trio, who once they had caught up on sleep and filled their hungry bellies, soon settled in and love playing with their toys.

📹We have made a little video of Pumpkin, Treacle and Toffee.

Soon, once they are over the Coccidia infection
And start their journey to find a home 🏡

Abandoned with their whiskers cut off, eight kittens and two cats were found terrified outside our Hammersmith animal hospital. 💔

Cutting a cat's whiskers is not only painful for cats, but can also impede their spacial awareness as they rely on these thick sensory hairs to explore the world around them.

Our team dropped everything to make sure these kittens and cats got the love and care they needed before finding loving new homes.

They are among a large number of stray and unwanted cats coming through our doors this year, stretching our services to the max. 🥺

Please donate today to help us be there for more pets like this. 💙

🏥Daisy has been in foster whilst being under the care of the hospital.

Daisy's been on quite the journey since being brought into our care as a stray over a year ago. Arriving in our care and struggling with severe cat flu and conjunctivitis, we treated her with fluids and antibiotics and she responded well. 🙏

However sadly, it was then one thing after another from there. Ongoing diarrhoea, ear infections in both ears, and even a nasty bout of ringworm caught from some kittens in foster care, we weren't sure if poor Daisy would ever make a full recovery.

But finally, she fought off her ailments one by one and has been healthy and symptom-free for several months. Just look at her now! ▶

Having been in our care for so long, Daisy's world is quite small and she's looking for a patient and understanding owner who will take the time to let her settle in. In return, she'll make the most wonderful companion! 👉 https://bit.ly/408YC3R

📦Little Emma was found abandoned in a box 📦

😞Estimated to only be 4-5 weeks old she should had still been with her mum and litter mates.

🤒When Emma arrived she was showing signs of cat flu and also had fleas.

🏥Emma was also understandably very scared but soon realised she was safe with us.

⛔️Due to the cat flu Emma had to be in isolation to ensure she did not pass this onto to any other cats.

💊Antibiotics and eye treatment were started as well as a flea treatment 💉

🚐Once she was feeling a bit better she left us to go to a foster home via one of our rehoming centres.

🌟The future is bright for this little lady

💕Good luck Emma💕

👝Little Plum was brought into us after she was found abandoned in a bag.

💉Plum was in a lot of discomfort when she arrived and wasn’t keen to walk.

🩻Pain relief was administered and then X-rays revealed she had suffered from some sort of trauma and had a dislocation to her tail.

💙Luckily all the nerves were still in tact and all Plum needed was some R & R and pain relief.

🩹Plum was soon feeling better and had no lasting damage due to the dislocation.

🥰A sweet little kitten who just loved chatting and receiving lots of TLC, which the team were happy to provide.

🏡Plum has now left us to go to one of our rehoming centres to find a place to call home.
