Please help provide the critical first night of care for homeless pets

Donate today

We have seen an 18 per cent rise in the number of homeless pets coming through our doors. Some arrive starving, others injured and many in need of emergency veterinary treatment. The first night of care is critical. That's why we urgently need your support.

Donate a Critical Care Kit to Blue Cross this Christmas to help provide the emergency items homeless pets need to survive their most vulnerable hours.
