Missy is looking for a very special home with loving, kind people who have the patience to make friends with a gorgeous girl like her 💙😺Missy has had multiple homes in the past and is hoping to find her forever family.

She can be shy when first meeting people so she’ll need lots of time and space to settle into a new home. Ideally in a spare room that she can call her safe haven whilst she builds her confidence. Making friends with Missy will be a rewarding process once she begins to show trust in you.

A day spent in a sunny garden is Missy’s favourite past time. But on cloudier days a snooze in a comfy bed will do.

If you have space for a soft soul like Missy please do apply!⬇

Our Nessie might not be a great creature of the deep, but she’s no less of a legend!

Like her namesake, Nessie is shy and elusive but when she does allow you to get to know her, she is a sweet and loving girl with lots of affection to give!

Nessie used to love long play sessions, and she is looking for a home where she can feel comfortable enough to show her playful side again. Her favourite things are cosy safe spaces, soft voices, and kind, gentle people.

Loud noises can be scary for sweet Nessie, who really just wants an environment where she can protect her peace. A quiet home without too much going on would be ideal for her.

Nessie is a wonderful girl who needs people to see past her shy nature and recognise all her potential to be a great companion when she feels safe and secure.

You may be aware that lilies are toxic to our pets, but did you know about these dangerous plants as well? 💐

Nine terrified kittens and their mum were left along with a heart-breaking note begging for Blue Cross to help. 💔

Our veterinary team provided essential care, and our rehoming team created a safe space after their ordeal, leading to their quick adoption.

Sadly stories like this occur all too frequently. We are witnessing an unprecedented rise in the number of homeless pets arriving in our care, largely due to owners being unable to afford their care.

This is why we rely on donations to ensure we can help pets like Dahlia and her babies.

By donating, you will help us be there for as many homeless pets as we can.

Stray dog, Ronnie was rescued by our Newport rehoming centre, before spending time at our Southampton centre, where he loved all the care and attention from our staff, but what he wanted most was a family of his own. After 146 days in our care, his dreams finally came true! 🏡🥰

This adorable staffy, Creed, has been with us for 63 days and is beginning to lose hope of finding his forever family. 💔

Creed is a lovable 6-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier with a big heart! This energetic boy is always ready for fun and loves a good game of tug. He'd thrive in an active home with plenty of mental and physical stimulation. With consistency and ongoing training, he will continue to flourish.

Facing the challenge of caring for an unplanned litter of puppies, their owner was also confronted with the threat of homelessness, with the possibility of living in their car with all seven dogs. 💔

In this difficult situation, the owner made the brave decision to seek our help.

The team implemented rotas, feeding schedules, and a socialisation plan to ensure the litter received the best possible start. Which also allowed their mother to have much-needed rest away from her pups.

As the puppies settled in, their personalities began to shine through, and it wasn’t long before they were all adopted just in time for ! 🎉

This gentle giant might be a little shy initially, but once he warms up, he's the most loyal, sweet, affectionate boy.

Cloud was discovered by a member of the public, abandoned along with four other cats in a single carrier bag in an alleyway. 💔

Fortunately, they were taken to one of our animal hospitals, where our expert team provided the necessary care.

Unfortunately, Cloud was not in the best health. She was suffering from calicivirus, a feline illness that can cause mild to severe respiratory infections and oral disease, which led to her having a painful, ulcerated tongue.

After receiving plenty of pain relief and antibiotics, Cloud made a full recovery, while the other cats also received the care and attention they needed.

We're happy to share that all of the cats, including Cloud, have successfully found forever homes after their ordeal. 💙

Percy and his tiny enclosure were put up for sale online for £20. 💔

Luckily, he was spotted by someone who had previously adopted a hamster from Blue Cross. This kind individual decided to rescue Percy from his cramped living conditions and bring him into our care.

After receiving veterinary treatment, our rehoming teams worked hard to find Percy the perfect new home. And he found just that!

Percy is now living in a spacious enclosure that features lots of hiding places and foraging opportunities. His new owner has even spoiled him with a playpen, offering a change of scenery in the evenings when hamsters are most active

If you’re thinking about bringing a hamster into your home, we highly recommend following our advice to ensure you find the perfect-sized enclosure! 👉 https://bit.ly/47Bb9wV

At just six months old, Bear was trying to survive on the streets while in unbearable pain. 💔

X-rays revealed a badly fractured right hind leg – so badly damaged that the only option was to amputate.

But it wasn't over for Bear, while resting, our Victoria team noticed that Bear’s other leg was also unstable. Unfortunately, further X-rays revealed that he had a dislocated kneecap.

On the day the stitches from his amputation were removed, poor Bear had to endure another operation on his other leg.

With the care and love from our veterinary, rehoming, and foster teams, Bear has gone from strength to strength, is no longer in pain, and is now in a loving new home. 💙

2024 saw a 9% increase in cat admissions, and we envision a greater surge in homeless pets, like Bear, needing our care this year.

Please help us continue to provide life-saving vet care for homeless pets by donating to our cause.

Found alone in a garage at just three weeks old, Pirate was injured and separated from her mother. 💔

She was suffering from a ruptured eye and desperately needed love and medical attention.

Our expert team worked tirelessly, but unfortunately, brave Pirate’s eye could not be saved.

A crucial operation was required, which posed a risk due to her small size. However, Pirate was a fighter, and the operation was successful!

After 40 days of rest and recovery, her dreams finally came true, and she found a loving new home.

This week, as the planets align in the sky, our sweet one-year-old rescue cat, Star, gave birth to five adorable kittens! 🌟 In honour of both her name and the very rare planetary event, we’ve named the little ones Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. 🌍

The whole family is currently in foster care, getting ready to find their forever homes. 💙

While struggling to survive on the streets as strays, all Coco and KitKat had was each other. 💙

Due to KitKat's shyness, Coco confidently looked out for her friend while they were on the street, a practice that continued when they came into our care.

Even while suffering from skin conditions, they cuddled together for comfort while undergoing treatment.

Their bond was unbreakable, and after 122 days in our care, our favourite pair found a home together.💕

The impact of our care. Trigger warning! 😢

Abandoned in a park, terrified, and with their ribs and spines protruding, it was clear these three pups had suffered neglect. 💔

Thought to be around six months old, Ross, Joey, and Chandler were undernourished and covered in filth.

Shut down and scared of everything, including the wind, we could only imagine what their past must have been like.

Our team in Bromsgrove worked tirelessly to help rebuild their physical strength and to start their training and socialization from scratch.

As their confidence grew each day, the pups eventually regained their health and found loving new homes.

Meet our unluckiest resident, Jeremy. 💔 Despite Jeremy's heartbreaking past, Jeremy still hasn't found their perfect match.

We believe that his need for personal space and not being comfortable with being touched might be putting people off.

This , please help Jeremy find the love they deserve! 👉 https://bit.ly/42iwa0q

Alone and completely matted, Jeremy barely had any human interaction for nine years. Living in a breeding facility in a concrete kennel with no windows, he was terrified. 💔

Our foster carer, behaviour, and rehoming teams have worked incredibly hard with Jeremy to help him rebuild his trust in people.

Due to his lack of experience with interaction, Jeremy does not like being touched. He is seeking a patient owner who understands his needs and respects his space and boundaries to help him progress.

Could you provide Jeremy with the loving home he deserves? https://bit.ly/42iwa0q

We're celebrating by highlighting our new favourite duo, Pepper and Worcester, who have finally found a home together after losing their beloved owners to illness. 💕

Terminal illness meant their elderly owners could no longer look after the veteran duo, and so turned to Blue Cross for help.

Keeping Pepper and Worcester together was essential due to their strong bond, and it wasn't long before they found a loving home on a beautiful farm. 💙

Everyone at Blue Cross is incredibly grateful for the donation left by Pepper and Worcester's owners, which will help us continue supporting pets and people like them.

Spotted crying and starving on an estate, his finder made the right decision bringing Benedict into our care. 💔

He quickly earned a reputation as a chatterbox with had an unusual head tilt, but upon investigation, we realised that he was trying to tell us that he had an inner ear infection.

Our team provided the necessary treatment, but the infection left him with a permanent head tilt.

After monitoring his mobility and continuing his treatment, he was finally ready for what he had always dreamed of, a home.

And he found just that! 💙

Tiny was found abandoned in the waiting room, in an extremely bad state. 💔 With a ruptured eye that was out of its socket, we can only imagine the pain this poor girl endured.

Our team at our Victoria animal hospital worked tirelessly to help her. Unfortunately, her injury had been left untreated for too long, and her eye had to be removed.

Fortunately, Tiny recovered remarkably well. In gratitude, she showered our staff with love and cuddles.

This sweet girl went through so much, but the outcome was worthwhile as she is is now in the loving arms of her new owner.💙
