Meet Barry, a dog who is so terrified of fireworks that he refuses to go to the toilet. 💔

Owned by one of our team, Barry is one of the many animals affected by fireworks, making celebrations like New Year's Eve very challenging.

Currently on behavioural medication, Barry's phobia is so severe that he has struggled to go for walks since Bonfire Night and now reacts fearfully to sounds like car doors slamming.

We urge you to put pets first and reconsider any plans to host or attend at-home fireworks displays. 🎇

Tootsie is finally in a home for Christmas! Alone and vulnerable, Tootsie was struggling to survive on the streets of London.

Her situation took a turn for the worse when some children spotted her and tried to run her over with their bikes. 💔

Crying in fear, she was rescued and brought into our care, where she began her recovery.

She was soon moved to our Southampton rehoming centre where she began displaying nervous and aggressive behaviour due to the trauma she had experienced.

The team spent several weeks gently building Tootsie’s confidence, and eventually, she relaxed, after realising she was in a safe space.

Tootsie's outlook on life changed dramatically, and after 53 days with us, she finally found a loving home where she felt safe. 💙

24/12/2024

Door Number 24 - It's our Greyhounds

These greyhounds are all ex racers, given up at the end of their racing lives. Racing greyhounds have hard lives in poor conditions, when we rescue them, we help them rehabilitate to a normal dog's life. They slowly learn to enjoy walks in the countryside, comfy beds, tasty treats, toys, sofa time and lots of love and attention. Here's a bit more about each of our greyhounds:

Dede loves lounging on the sofa, receiving lots of fuss and chasing a ball around. She found her new home back in September. ⚽️

Pretzel is a fun bouncy lady who loves to be around people and chase after toys. She found her new home back in October. 💕

Cheddar is a gentle giant, who loves his walks and zooming around with toys. He found his new home back in November. 🐾

Brie is lovely lady who loves fuss, attention and chilling on the sofa with you. It took a while for her to get to her new home due to having a tail operation with a long recovery time. However she in now settled in her new home and celebrated her Gotcha Day this December. 🥰

Spud is a sensitive, gentle giant, who took a while to settle into his new life. His confidence slowly grew with us day by day. Spud liked finding comfortable cosy corners to snooze in, having zoomies, going on walks, seeing other dogs and playing with toys. After 101 days of staying with us Spud found his new home back in September. 🐶

Roo has come to our centre recently and is doing great. When he is ready he will be up for rehoming. 💙

🏁

Door Number 21 - It's Buttons

Monty's experience serves as a warning to be extra vigilant with pets during the Christmas season. ⚠️

Clearly, Monty wanted to join in on the Christmas festivities when he broke into a hamper and consumed some boozy fruitcake.

Luckily, his owner noticed quickly and rushed him to our animal hospital in Victoria.

The rich fruitcake contained sherry-soaked sultanas, nuts, cherries, and brandy.

Sultanas and raisins are toxic to cats and dogs, and even small amounts can lead to severe kidney failure. While alcohol can be fatal to pets.

Thankfully, Monty made a full recovery, but it's a reminder that the festive season holds many hidden dangers for pets. 🎄

20/12/2024

Door Number 20 - It's Winston

Winston was bought to us by a member of the public who rescued him from two boys trying to throw him in to a river in his cat carrier. Winston spent 30 days with us, where we saw his personality shine through, he's a sweet boy, who loves chin scratches.
Winston got to celebrate his Gotcha Day last week, we hope you are settling in well. 🥰💙

Door Number 19 - It's Lars

Terrified and undernourished, three puppies were desperately searching for food when they found themselves in our care. It was obvious that the siblings had seen and experienced very little of the world, given how shutdown they were and the fear they displayed when encountering many everyday sights and sounds.

The team knew they had a real job on their hands. As well as building their physical strength, the team had to start training and socialisation from scratch. Thanks to the emergency resources available, they were able to help the pups come out of their shells and learn to trust. Without your donations, this wouldn't be possible.

A big Thank you to all the staff at Atkins Realis Next Gen who have generously donated food and treats for the pets in our care this Christmas. Halo was particularly grateful for her Santa biscuit! 🎅😍

17/12/2024

Door Number 17 - It's Halo

Halo is a 5 month old French Bulldog cross looking for a home. She is a bundle of joy, who loves her play time, food and cuddles. She is looking for owners who can carry on with her training. Halo is deaf but this does not stop her having having a great time and being a loving dog. 🥰

Found freezing, limp and lifeless inside a carrier by a kind passerby, by the time she came through our hospital doors, the team feared this poor cat was already dead - until she let out a tiny cry for help. 😿

Named Finsbury after the London park she was found in on a cold and wet day, she was hanging onto life by a thread. Rushed into intensive care, she had collapsed and tests confirmed she was critically ill with hypothermia and a respiratory infection. She was also covered in fleas that had left her with fur loss and scabs all over her body.

To give her a fighting chance of survival, she was given much needed warmth and medication and miraculously, she began to recover. Once stable enough, she was transferred to a foster home where she enjoyed lapping up all of the attention. Now thriving in a loving home, her previous trauma is thankfully a distant memory. Just look at her journey!

Finsbury made it to us in the nick of time, and thanks to the emergency care available, we were able to save her life. Without your donations, this wouldn't be possible. Donate today to give a life saving Emergency Care Box that could change a pet like Finsbury's story forever. ❤ Find out more about giving vital emergency care this Christmas 👉 https://bit.ly/4eXe7QO

Door Number 16 - It's Tipsy

Tipsy was a stray found with a broken leg, unfortunately she had to have her leg removed due to the injury. However that did not slow her down, after recovering well and a short stay on site with us, she was soon rehomed in June 🥰

15/12/2024

Last weekend someone named Jo came in to drop off all these donations! We would like to say a massive thank you! Our cats and dogs are loving the treats and toys! And our rabbits will love all the enrichment too.
We would also like to say thank you to everyone who has generously donated to us, thinking of our pets at Christmas, we really appreciate all of your kindness 🥰 and the pets are really are enjoying the extra treats and toys 🐱🐶🐰🩵🩵

Introducing the most festively named of kitties - Mr Figgy Pudding Paws! 🎄🎅

So shy when he came into our care, Figgy would make a nest with his blankets and hide away from anyone that came near his pen. Following some inappropriate toileting in his former home, he was suffering from urinary crystals – a potentially fatal condition if left untreated.

But after a course of medication, Figgy started to feel brighter and his natural curiosity overcame his anxiety. Cautiously he introduced himself to the Blue Cross team and hasn't looked back since! Could you make his and welcome him into your home? 👉 https://bit.ly/4ixDzie

11/12/2024

At just four weeks old, Emma was not where she should have been at Christmas - close to her mum in a warm, loving home. Instead, she was abandoned in a box and left on a doorstep. 💔

Covered in fleas and showing signs of cat flu, she was terrified. Fortunately, the homeowner made the right decision to bring her into our care.

Luckily, Emma was a fighter, responded well to the treatment, and found a loving home just in time for Christmas.

We rely on your support to carry out our work helping vulnerable pets like Emma.

If you can, please donate today to help provide emergency items for our veterinary and rehoming teams. 🙏

10/12/2024

In just nine short months of life, Elsie has been through more change than any cat should in a lifetime. 😥

Coming into our care as a stray, Elsie has been rehomed and then returned and needed space in multiple foster homes while she waits patiently for somewhere permanent. All she wants this Christmas is a home that she never has to leave again. ❤

Despite so much uncertainty, she's happily explored and settled in each home she's been in and is playful, loving and affectionate. She'll make the most wonderful company! Meet her 👉 https://bit.ly/4g4Fnh8

09/12/2024

Caked in grime, the team initially thought Midge was actually white with brown-coloured patches, but they were in fact, large mounds of fleas, filth and grot. 💔

But she was one of the lucky ones. Thanks to the emergency resources available, we were able to act quickly to get her back on her paws but without your donations, this wouldn't be possible.

Donate today to give a life saving Emergency Care Box that could change a pet like Midge's story forever. Find out more about giving vital emergency care this Christmas 👉 https://bit.ly/4eXe7QO

It's official! 🎉 Juno will be spending a very special first Christmas in a loving new home. After being spotted on our social channels, her new family who live locally, said seeing her pop up on their feed felt like fate and they fell in love immediately. ❤

04/12/2024

We believe pets are part of the family, so when they leave us, it can be as painful as losing a person. 💔

Whether it happens naturally, suddenly or through theft, as part of our , we're calling for employers to extend their bereavement leave to include the death of a much-loved pet.

Who's ready for a Christmas miracle? ✨

When Tabitha was spotted hanging around outside our cattery looking a little dishevelled, the team took her in and set about posting an appeal on social media to try and locate her owner.

After a week of beginning to lose hope, a gentleman came in showing pictures of a cat that looked just like Tabitha. They arranged a meet at the centre and it was immediately clear from the reunion that the kitty belonged to them. Thanks to the care and hard work of the team, the 13 year old went home with her family to spend Christmas where she belongs. ❤

Although Tabitha is clearly a much-loved cat, her owners weren't aware that it's now the law for all cats to be microchipped. Had this been the case, they would have been reunited even more quickly. Find out more 👉 https://bit.ly/462lcv2

Did you know that this year, we have welcomed 470 black cats? 🖤 With so many black cats waiting to be adopted, we encourage you to resist the temptation of and always choose to adopt, don't shop.

27/11/2024

Passing by the forecourt of a Lexus car garage, when a member of the public heard meowing, they alerted the staff who found a tiny black kitten under the bonnet of one of the cars!

Named Alexus (what else!) she was brought to us and apart from being riddled with fleas, she was in good health. She thrived in foster care and it wasn't long before she went off to a new home. Just look at her with her new best friend. 😻

Alexus' story highlights the importance of keeping cats safe in the colder months. With the temperature dropping, cats may crawl into a car bonnet or engine to keep warm but when the engine is started up, cats can be seriously injured or even killed. When it feels cold out, be sure to check or give your bonnet a quick bang before setting off. 🚗
