Bromsgrove Blue Cross

The Bromsgrove centre opened in 1986 and is now one of our largest centres. Located in Catshill, Bromsgrove, it serves a wide base of the local community. The site operates from a former commercial boarding kennels, but has been completely rebuilt over the years. The original purchase of the site was largely due to a generous bequest from a local benefactor who recognised the need for an animal welfare presence in the area. Our primary function is the intake and rehoming of both cats and dogs into new, loving homes. The kennel block has 25 dog kennels, and 9 cat units as well as an isolation unit for cats.The cattery was fully refurbished in March 2013. We have a Pet Care Clinic on site, which provides subsidised Veterinary treatment to people on means tested benefits in the postcode catchment areas B60, B61, B97. We also rehome cats and dogs through the Home Direct Rehoming Service which has now been rolled out across the organisation. This service means we can help more people rehome their pets without the need for their animals to come into a rescue environment. We have a large team of dedicated volunteers and foster carers. The Centre has 21 staff employed by Blue Cross, which consists of Centre Manager, a Deputy Manager, 3 Receptionist, a Volunteer Co-ordinator and a team of animal welfare assistants.
