Real Experiences
"Having moved to a new, smaller home, I thought I was going to have to give up my cat and turned to the Blue Cross for help. They were wonderful throughout – incredibly thorough in their questions regarding my cat (reassuring me that they really cared about finding him the best possible home) and so supportive of me. When I decided I could keep him after all, again they just said they were delighted he was staying in a good home. The whole process was so emotionally difficult for me, but the staff at the Blue Cross could not have been more empathetic. Thank you!"
3 months ago"Blue Cross is an amazing charity and the team at Radcliffe have been really supportive and helpful throughout the rehoming process. They helped me find the perfect farmhouse for our cat where she will be able to run wild and free and be amongst fellow cats. It's an emotional time when looking to rehome a pet, but the team at BlueCross are very empathetic and try their very best to find the perfect new home for your pets. Big shout out to Hannah and Zoe who I communicated with during the process. Would highly recommend for anyone needing to rehome or adopt a pet."
3 months ago"Myself and my daughter are looking to adopt our first dog and we can't speak highly enough of the staff at the Blue Cross in Manchester. They communicated well, tentatively explored our wishes and what we could offer in order to ensure a good match. They were patient and encouraging with my daughter and we look forward to working with them again in the future. Thank you!!"
6 months ago"Me and my partner Matt adopted the adorable Lucifer and Mr Squishy Socks on the 3rd April 2025. The process from applying to adopt to taking the boys home was so straightforward and the staff were brilliant every step of the way. The boys have settled in perfectly and after a couple of hours have been enjoying a cuddle and a wrestling match. Thank you Blue Cross for giving these two adorable rats a second chance and we are so happy to have found them."

Our main contact was Emily-Jane who was fantastic, really taking the time to get to know us and the dog. The team continue to check in with us to see how everything is going and we know we can reach out if we have any issues. We love our addition to the family, thank you so much for all you do!"
