Shortly after arriving as a retired racing dog, we noticed that Sydney had a swollen leg.

Having an X-ray machine in our clinic enabled us to quickly diagnose and treat him. But our X-ray machine is ageing, and without it, we won’t be able to provide animals like Sydney with they care they need.

Will you be there for animals like Sydney and help to ensure they have the access to the help they need? https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/mayhew-needs-a-new-x-ray-machine.

🟣 Poppet needs your help! 🟣 At six months old, Poppet is still just a puppy. Despite being a loving boy, Poppet has now been in our care for nearly three months, which is half of his whole life.

While we will always do everything we can to provide for the animals in our care, a kennel is no place for a dog to grow up. And just like us, Poppet has dreams of his own. He just wants to be loved in a home of his own - something he has never had before.

Can you please help Poppet by liking and sharing this post? We know Poppet's person is out there somewhere, we just need your help to find them. https://themayhew.org/dogs/poppet/.

Thank you. 💜

Do you remember Project Cosy Paws? 🐾 Well, today - Zena has taken the matter into her own paws (or ears).

Zena and her friends are extremely grateful to everyone who has already donated their old bedding and towels, but with so many paws to keep warm and dry - donations are always welcome.

Here are some details below:

🛏️ What we need: Blankets, sheets and towels are very welcome.
❌ What we can't currently accept: Pillows, pillowcases or double duvets.
🏠 Where to donate: We kindly ask for donations to be dropped off at our animal Home during reception hours: Monday - Saturday, 9am - 5pm. As a small organisation, we are unable to currently offer collection.

Sometimes, it really is the small things in life. And when an animal like Zena first arrives, a snuggly blanket can make such a difference. Thank you. 💜

Hello, it's Flora and Dora here! 🐱 You might notice that our photos aren’t the best, and we hope you'll please excuse us for that.

You see, just like you, we felines are all different and have our own unique personalities. We both consider ourselves quite shy - especially Dory.

As lovely as we are, we prefer minimal interaction with people. That’s why we’re looking for an alternative home where we can spend most of our time outdoors and keep human contact to a minimum if we choose.

You can find out more about us on the Mayhew website, including the kind of home we are searching for.

Thank you for the opportunity to introduce ourselves and for understanding that we are all different - but no less beautiful in our own way. 💜 https://themayhew.org/rehome-a-working-cat/.

This week's features not one, but two happy cats! 😻

Carl and Sonia (previously Magnus and Thistle) had one important request when being rehomed - that they stay together. 💜 Having been together since they were born, this was a non-negotiable for them.

Fortunately, they found someone who had room in their hearts and home for both of them. Their adopter describes them as the "loveliest cats" and shared that they love to spend their days eating, sleeping and receiving fuss. Sounds like they have their priorities right!

Sonia is definitely the boss, although we won't tell Carl that! 😸 We are so pleased Carl and Sonia found the forever home they deserved - together. 💜

19/02/2025

Boss was in desperate need of help when he arrived. Suffering and in pain, his life depended on veterinary care. An examination including X-rays helped to diagnose him so he could receive life-saving treatment.

But our X-ray machine is ageing fast, and without it – animals like Boss are at risk. Will you help us reach our fundraising target and ensure animals like Boss have the access to treatment they need? Please, you can help us save more lives. https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/mayhew-needs-a-new-x-ray-machine.

Do you remember Carla's kittens - the litter you helped us name? 🐱 Well, today, the spotlight is on their wonderful mum, Carla!

After doing an incredible job raising her babies, Carla's kittens are now flying the nest - and it's Carla's time to shine. ✨

At just one year old, Carla is still a young cat herself, and after being abandoned in a cardboard box while heavily pregnant - she deserves the best in life, including a home of her own.

Her foster carer describes her as “an incredible, confident, and friendly girl who loves to sit next to me on the sofa and watch cat TV!”

"She loves to be held and cuddled, and anyone would be lucky to have her in their home." 💜 https://themayhew.org/cats/carla/.

Need a dose of cuteness to help you through Monday? Meet Leia! 🐶

How proud does Diego look to be going home with his new family? 🥺

When we first met Diego last year, we were saddened to hear his story. With one of his previous family members being very poorly, they were sadly no longer able to care for him.

At Mayhew we are proud to offer support for people and their pets when they need it most - whatever their circumstances may be.

After a couple of months in our care, Diego found his people. We believe you can have more than one family, and Diego has been lucky to be loved by many and will continue to be in his new home. 💜

🚨 Cuteness alert! 🚨 Angel by name, angel by nature. This sweet girl has been through more than any dog should - especially at just five months old.

Angel came to us with a fractured right leg that required surgery. It wasn’t a simple procedure, and poor Angel needed pins in her leg to help it heal, along with plenty of rest - something not so easy for a young, energetic puppy!

Fortunately, Angel has had an incredible team around her, and with lots of love and special care, she has made a fantastic recovery. We are so proud of you, Angel! 💜

Now fully healed, Angel is ready for the next step in her journey - finding her forever home. She steals the heart of everyone she meets, and we know that the person or family who adopts her will be gaining a very special girl in their life. 💜 https://themayhew.org/dogs/angel/.

Today's is a special one. 💜 You might have seen Elrond (now lovingly know as Little Bug) in our winter appeal.

Last year, Little Bug was left in our reception, which many of us were saddened to see on our CCTV footage as part of our campaign. Fortunately our team were on hand to help and Little Bug was quickly brought to safety.

Little Bug was only a kitten when he was abandoned and had already been through so much. But his luck soon changed when he found his forever home with Jojo Moyes.

After having his world turned upside down, Little Bug was a little guarded at first. But with time, patience, and lots of love, he has settled beautifully into his new home.

He's now described as ruling the roost when it comes to the dogs 😺 and has become quite the cuddle bug. 🥰

It’s clear just how loved he is by his family. 💜 After everything he’s been through, we are so happy he got the second chance he deserved - a home filled with nothing but love.

Who will join us in congratulating Tanner on becoming a TheraPaws dog? 🎉🐶

Tanner recently passed his behavioural assessment to join the TheraPaws team, where he will bring joy to people in hospices, hospitals, and more.

As a rescue dog himself, his human and fellow TheraPaws volunteer, Jordine-Rae, shared: "All dogs are wonderful, but rescue dogs bring their own challenges that teach you so much about yourself. They deserve time, energy, and love because they return it tenfold."

Tanner can’t wait to spread love and receive plenty in return. What a good boy. 💜

You can find out more about our TheraPaws programme on our website here: https://themayhew.org/how-we-help/in-our-communities/therapaws/.

Every rescue animal has their own journey, and this is Cookie’s. 🐱

Cookie arrived at Mayhew last year with her four young kittens. At just one year old herself, Cookie had already been through a lot.

After spending four months in our care, Cookie was ready for the second chance she deserved - a forever home of her own. 🏠 Initially shy, she took some time to settle in, but with love and patience, her personality began to shine. Now, she brings joy to her new family every day.

Her adopter, Sharon, shares: ‘She is sweet, funny, at times mischievous, very vocal, and always loving. I am grateful that we found each other!’

We are sure Cookie is just as grateful to have found her person. 💜

We 💜 starting the week with good news. 🐶

Little Charlie (formerly Norman) recently said goodbye as he headed off to his forever home! We couldn’t be happier for you, Charlie. 💜

Today's features the happiest of beans! 😺 After being adopted last year, Beans settled into his new home right away. 🏠

His adopter describes him as a "cheeky chappy" they "couldn't be more obsessed with." 😻 Beans makes an excellent home office colleague and absolutely loves cuddles.

It's clear just how loved Beans is - and how much he loves his new life and family. 💜

Elrond’s story is heartbreaking but all too common. Left alone in our reception, he had no idea why his world had suddenly changed.💔 We understand that some owners, faced with tough times, may feel unable to continue caring for their pets. It's why we’re working harder than ever to be there for all the dogs and cats who need us. But we can’t do it alone – we need your help to keep our doors open this winter, so no animal is turned away from the warmth and care they deserve. Please, donate today. Your kindness could be the gift that saves a life this winter. https://bit.ly/infromthecoldappeal.
