Blue cross of India

The Blue Cross of India was established in 1964 to alleviate the suffering of animals. It has grown from small beginnings to become one of India's largest animal welfare organisations, running active animal welfare, animal rights and humane education programmes.
To ensure that all moneys received by the Society are used exclusively for animal welfare activities, the administration and non-medical activities of the Blue Cross of India are looked after by members who donate their time and expertise on a purely honorary basis.
The Captain Sundaram Animal Centre was inaugurated in 1997. Situated at Guindy, the new centre has provision to house 200 large animals and 200 dogs, besides a cat shelter and a large aviary. The Konica Adoption Centre for puppies and kittens, donated by Mr.J.P.Acharya of Nippon Enterprises South, was also inaugurated on Nov 30, 1997.
