As we leave 2022, I can't help but wonder what what's next for Blue Cross UK in 2023! 🎇

One thing is for sure – we’ll be here to continue supporting pets and their owners who need our help.

@the_Blue_Cross run Britain’s largest animal bereavement service?

The helpline has helped 27,000 pet owners this year alone - this is 20,000 more than in 2021.

We're enlisting 100 volunteers to keep this vital service going all year round.

Merry Christmas from all of us at @the_blue_cross! 🎄

It's been a challenging year, but the team have never let that deter them from doing what they can to help pets and their owners.

It's great to see families come together, to raise a glass or two and temporarily put aside the great uncertainties that may of us are feeling in the spirit of Christmas.

Before Amber was bought to @the_blue_cross, she was abandoned, suffering with mange and heavily pregnant. It brings me such joy to see her and her puppies healthy and rehomed. This is exactly the kind of difference supporting Blue Cross can make: bluecross.org.uk/support

It was great to see ITV News Meridian Natalie Verney meet the wonderful Amber at @the_blue_cross rehoming centre in Burford recently.

Amber is just one of the many sick and abandoned pets we were able to help this year.

Amber was abandoned in a field whilst she was pregnant and suffering with mange. Blue Cross UK were able to deliver her pups whilst getting her back to good health.

All of the pups and Amber are now thriving in new homes. None of this would be possible without our supporters.

The petition committee's recommendation to ban greyhound racing in Wales is a significant step towards the more compassionate future we need to protect dogs. @the_blue_cross, @dogstrust and RSPCA (England & Wales) are united in supporting this: bluecross.org.uk/campaign/CutTh…

As news headlines across the UK describe temperatures as low as -5 degrees I can’t help but think of Blue Cross UK partners in Ukraine, currently experiencing -15 to -20 degrees. We're working hard to ensure pets are able to access food: bluecross.org.uk/blue-cross-ukr…

Think it's cold today? ❄️ Imagine how it feels to be a stray in living in a building with bombed-out windows. With temps hitting -20 degrees, thousands may not survive. 💔

It's been a privilege to raise awareness of how the cost of living crisis is affecting pet owners, and how Blue Cross UK' can support, on Sky News and Steph McGovern recently!

We will continue to raise these important issues across national media.

I love to read about four legged Guinness World Records holders! 🐾

Flossie has been named the oldest living cat at a whooping 27 years old. She was recently rescued by a lady of the same age!: news.sky.com/story/worlds-o…
