About Blue Cross - Kimpton Rehoming Centre
Our rehoming centre originally opened in the 1940s and has facilities for dogs, cats and small pets. Our newly refurbished facilities include 20 kennels and 29 cat pens, which includes a mother and kitten unit. We also have indoor rabbit space and rooms for small pets.
We love the way that pets can make such an amazing difference to the people they live with, and we are passionate about the very special relationship between a pet and a person. So we do all we can to help that relationship thrive - and volunteers play a crucial role in helping us achieve this.
