Blue Cross

Who we are

We're a charity that has been helping sick, injured, abandoned and homeless pets since 1897. Pets help us in so many ways and they depend entirely on us. That’s why at Blue Cross we believe in helping pets because pets help us.

We help thousands of pets in need every month, providing veterinary care, expert behaviour help and find them loving happy homes, as well as advice and education for current or future pet owners and pet bereavement support. We develop lifelong relationships with pets and owners, providing quality care that is accessible and non-judgemental. With your support we can give back to more pets in need.

Pets change lives. We change theirs.

Our vision is that every pet will enjoy a healthy life in a happy home and we won’t rest until we achieve it. 

Our culture and values

At Blue Cross we are compassionate, inclusive, and courageous. You can expect to see our team demonstrating these important values every day. 

• Compassionate: We listen, we are non-judgemental, we are kind and caring to the pets and people we encounter, and we offer support in difficult times
• Courageous: We make brave decisions, embrace change and encourage innovation, ensuring we always act with integrity – doing the right thing even when no one is looking
• Inclusive: We value all our relationships and work in an open and positive culture where we celebrate our diverse talents and empower you to be you

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We believe that every pet should enjoy a healthy life in a happy home, and we always seek to recruit the best people who share our values and commitment so we can continue to help and support pet owners across the UK to achieve this.

At Blue Cross, we want you to feel that you belong, without the need to hide any part of who you are. Diversity and inclusion at Blue Cross means creating a workplace where all people, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, nation or country of origin, disability, age, and socioeconomic backgrounds are welcome, respected, supported, and have access to equal opportunities.  

We are working hard to reflect the world we live in and the communities we serve at every level of our organisation. As much as we have made positive advances, we consider diversity and inclusion to be a work in progress – a continual commitment that remains a priority for all of us.
