We are absolutely delighted to announce that Mayhew has won the top prize in the Animals & the Environment category at the Charity Awards!

Nominated for our mass canine rabies vaccination programme in Kabul, Afghanistan, we are incredibly proud to receive the prestigious recognition for vaccinating over 132,500 dogs against rabies in Kabul - helping to save hundreds of thousands of dogs as well as human lives.

This work wouldn't have been possible without our Afghanistan Country Director, Dr Mo and the rest of the team who have worked so hard over the last 7-8 years.

We hope you'll join us in celebrating this incredible achievement. 💜 🎊

Tallulah, Taylor, and Tate update – aka the Three T’s! 😻

We are pleased to share that since arriving last week, the family are all doing well. This week, the kittens had their first weigh-in. 🐱 Weekly weigh-ins are a great way for our Cattery Team to be able to monitor the kittens growth and progress.

Taylor and Tate have also started to open their eyes! Did you know that it takes between 5-14 days for kittens to open their eyes? Although this is of course different for each individual.

They are also born with folded ears that can take a couple of weeks to open. 🐱 But let's not forget who's doing all the hard work - our wonderful mumma cat, Tallulah who has been incredible so far. 💜

How cute is this photo of Coco with her soft toy? 🥺 Did you know that when an animal goes home, we always send them off with some of their favourite toys and blankets? 🧸

We even hear from adopters who say their cat or dog has kept a strong attachment to a blanket or toy they had while in our care. 💜

Just like us, animals find comfort in familiar things - and we are proud to provide that comfort, especially during times of change. After all, sometimes it really is the little things. 💜

P.S. Coco is hoping to find a forever home for her and her teddy. 🐱 https://themayhew.org/cats/coco/.

Watch to see Sherbert being reunited with his family! 💜

When one his his family members needed urgent hospital care, our Pet Refuge programme provided a lifeline. When we asked what Pet Refuge meant to them, Lee shared: "Pet Refuge has helped our family enormously by caring for our dog whilst my wife has recovered from a stroke."

Without Pet Refuge, the family felt they would have had no choice but to rehome Sherbert: "Undoubtedly, we would have lost our beloved dog." 💔 Instead, the programme gave the family the chance to focus on recovery, knowing Sherbert was safe and well cared for.

After a few months in our care, Sherbert was reunited with his family and we are so pleased to see them back together. 💜 You can find out more about Pet Refuge on our website here: https://themayhew.org/how-we-help/in-our-home/pet-refuge/.

A few week ago, Blanco shared a video about his hopes of finding a forever home...

Three weeks later, and Blanco hasn't received any new adoption applications. 💔 Blanco’s starting to lose hope - but together, we can remind him just how special he is. Somewhere out there, the right person or family is waiting for him. 💜

Can you help him find them by liking or commenting on his video? Every paw of support makes a difference. Thank you. 💜 https://themayhew.org/cats/blanco/.

This , we would like you to meet a very special boy: Dennis. 🐱

When Dennis first arrived at Mayhew, he needed urgent veterinary care. Having been living as a stray, he had sustained an injury on the side of his face which was likely caused from a cat fight.

The wound had turned into a painful abscess and Dennis was at high risk of infection. Fortunately, we were able to help before it was too late.

With some time and dedicated care, Dennis has made an incredible recovery. His face has completely healed, and he's really come out of his shell. Our Cattery Team (and the rest of us!) have fallen completely and utterly in love with Dennis and can't wait to see him find the home he deserves.

Having feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), Dennis will need an indoor home or a home with access to an enclosed garden. To find out more about this sweet boy, please visit our website here: https://themayhew.org/cats/dennis-indoor-or-enclosed-garden/.

Having had Joey in their lives for a little while now, Ben and Lizzie shared this lovely update about adopting from Mayhew. 💜

"We adopted Joey in October and it was the best thing we could have done. She makes us laugh with her playful antics and is so affectionate, giving us lots of cuddles.

"Mayhew were amazing, giving us lots of information and support to make sure she settled in well. We feel so lucky to share our lives with Joey; she makes us very happy." 💜

Lulu (first, third and fourth photo) and Dolly (second photo), have been working hard lately. 🐶

They both recently attended a corporate event at the proSapient head office. 🏢 As well as corporate events, both Lulu and Dolly visit health venues, including hospitals and nursing homes.

You might recognise Dolly who is one of Dolly's pups (yes, double Dolly)! Having been born at Mayhew, we love the full circle moment of Dolly becoming a TheraPaws volunteer!

Between them, Lulu and Dolly have had an incredible impact on the lives of so many and we are so proud of them both. 💜 Find out more about TheraPaws on our website here: https://themayhew.org/how-we-help/in-our-communities/therapaws/.

Na Na Na Na.... Batman! 🦇 Yep, you guessed it. Batman is 70% superhero and 30% cat, which equals to 100% adorable - right?

Batman is just one of the many cats currently in our care looking for his fur-ever home. So, if you're looking for your very own superhero to take on life with, don't forget to check out our adoption page. 🐱 💜 https://themayhew.org/cats/.

Would you like to meet a few of our newest residents? 🐾

Living as a stray, Tallulah recently gave birth to her kittens in someone's garden, with nowhere else to go.

Still only under a week old, Tallulah's kittens, Taylor and Tate, are extremely vulnerable. But thanks to the help of people like you, we were able to welcome this little family into our care.

As soon as they arrived, they were able to be seen in our clinic and we were pleased to see that they are in good health other than a case of fleas.

Tallulah is now settling into our cattery, where she has a safe space to rest and look after her kittens. They will receive everything they need until they are ready to find loving homes.

If you would like to be there for animals like Tallulah and her kittens, please consider making a donation today. 💜 https://bit.ly/4l3rQcc.
