Could your cat be a lifesaver?

We’re looking for confident, sociable cats who are happy being handled and meeting new people to join our lifesaving pride!

Every unit of blood helps save up to four lives

Pet Blood Bank exists to help save the lives of pets in need. We are a UK charity with welfare at our heart.

Our charity was set up to support vets by providing a blood service for pets, just like the one we have as humans.

We run donation sessions across the country where owners bring their much loved companions to give blood. The blood is taken to our processing centre in Loughborough where it is separated into different products. It is then stored and sent out to vets when they need it.

We operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to ensure blood is always available.
