It's been just over a month since sweet Margo was adopted, and she's been enjoying many 'firsts,' including her first walk and garden explorations! Way to go, Margo. 🐶

Her new family is so grateful to have found her, and we think Margo is just as thankful to have found the perfect home where she's surrounded by love and can settle her paws. 🐾💜

Struggling to get through Monday morning? Someone here can relate! 😸

This little one was born at Mayhew alongside their siblings after their mother arrived heavily pregnant.

While they’re not ready for adoption yet, we’re always adding new cats and kittens to our adoption page. 🐱 https://themayhew.org/cats/.

Mason and Magnus were excited to learn that it's . A whole day dedicated to them! 🐱 While they might not be fully ginger, they are very proud of their ginger patches, and rightly so.

They would love to know if you have a ginger cat in your life, and if so, what makes them special? 💜 https://themayhew.org/cats/.

How adorable are these photos taken by one of our foster carers? 😍 We’re so pleased for Coco, Yorkie, and Aero, who recently went to their forever homes! 💜

We have some special cats to introduce to you! 😻 Meet Lumen, Mocha, Marmite, Leia, Pamela, and Saffron. Can you guess what they all have in common?

They have all given birth over the past year. While their adorable kittens often receive the spotlight, it’s time for these incredible mums to get the attention they deserve. 💜

Now that their mothering duties are complete, Lumen, Mocha, Marmite, Leia, Pamela, and Saffron are ready to find their forever homes. These young cats (all three years and under) are eager to join families where they can be showered with the love they deserve.

Niko has been enjoying his new foster home, especially having a snuggly bed where he can spend his Sundays.

His foster carer describes him as a "very sweet boy", who loves to roll around in the grass and keep his foster family company. He really is the most wonderful companion and the person or family lucky enough to adopt him will be gaining a loyal friend. 💜 https://themayhew.org/dogs/niko/.

23/08/2024

After sadly losing their rescue cat, Chris and his family were eager to welcome another rescue into their hearts and home.

Having met Archie and being told of his past, Chris felt that they "really would be rescuing him." 💜

Archie was rehomed at the beginning of June. Though nervous at first, which is to be expected, he soon began to show his inquisitive side and personality. His confidence has been growing and he likes to wander into the garden occasionally and has even climbed a tree or two! 🌳

Despite Archie having plenty of comfortable places to sleep, he has a cardboard box that he likes the best. 📦 😸

It's clear to see how much Archie is loved, and we couldn’t be happier for him. A heart-warming . 💜

21/08/2024

Ruby was excited to find out it's as she's been waiting for a chance to show of her impressive set! 😺

This sweet girl has been through a lot. At 11-years-old she lost her home and family. Having had her world turned upside down, Ruby can take a while to trust people at first. But once she's comfortable, she is the biggest purr machine! 💜

She also has a fun fact she wanted us to share... Her previous owner told us that she loves to listen to Neil Diamond as her ears move when she hears the music! 🎵

Do you have a Ruby-shaped space in your life? https://themayhew.org/cats/ruby/.

19/08/2024

Roland would like to know if you had a nice weekend? He spent most of his napping, but did enjoy some sunshine outside. ☀️

He's hoping that a new week will bring him one paw closer to finding his forever home. 💜 https://themayhew.org/dogs/roland/.

18/08/2024

Since being rehomed in July, Peaches has been growing fluffier by the day! She's acing her puppy training and loving every moment in her new home. 🐾

Her adopters shared how lucky they feel to be Peaches' family, and we're sure Peaches feels exactly the same. 💜 .

16/08/2024

It's Magnus and Thistle's birthday! Will you purr-lease join us in showing them some birthday love? 💜

Today, this sweet sibling duo is turning three! They really hope this will be their best year yet - the one where they find their fur-ever home! https://themayhew.org/cats/magnus-thistle/.

15/08/2024

We’re excited to support the launch of Marro, a brand that shares our commitment to improving the lives of stray cats. 💜

Through their incredible ‘Every Subscription Chips in to Keep a Cat Safe’ initiative, Marro is helping us at Mayhew ensure that every cat in our care is microchipped. This comes at a crucial time, with new government legislation requiring all cats aged 20 weeks and older to be microchipped - or their owners could face a fine.

Thanks to their support and your subscriptions, we’re able to continue making the world a safer place for cats like Starlight.

Join us in celebrating the launch of Marro and the positive impact they’re making on animal welfare. 🐱

Meet Lulu! 🐶 When she first arrived, Lulu was in need of some TLC due to her fur being severely matted. She also had a skin infection, which was likely caused by the matting.

Since receiving treatment, Lulu is feeling much better and is ready to find her fur-ever home!

Described as sweet and affectionate, Lulu truly melts the heart of everyone she meets. She's a big fan of cuddles and insists that a human lap is necessary in her new home as she loves nothing more than snuggling with one of her favourite people. 💜 https://themayhew.org/dogs/lulu/.

13/08/2024

Did you catch us on ITV London? We were proud to be featured on the evening news yesterday as the cat 'crisis' we have been experiencing was highlighted.

Nothing to see here, just Miso the cat catching up on current affairs with the daily newspaper! 😸 Since being adopted in May, Miso has settled in beautifully.

Miso's new family love having her in their lives and we're sure the feeling is mutual! 🐱 💜 .

If you can, please donate today to help more dogs and cats like Teddy.

Teddy arrived with a hereditary disease that meant his left hind leg needed to be amputated.

Following the life-changing surgery, Teddy needed tailored care and time to overcome his fear of the world around him. Thanks to kind people like you, our team could focus on helping Teddy to recover from his emotional and physical wounds.

Sadly, we’re seeing an ever-increasing number of dogs and cats that desperately need this tailored care, and our costs are still soaring.

Please support our vital work with a gift today: https://bit.ly/4dyjRPU.

Bertie wants to jump into your feed and wish you a happy Monday! He'd love it if you could give his snoot a boop. 🐶💕

At six months old, Bertie is a sweet-natured, intelligent, and active pup looking for a forever home where his new family or person can continue his training.

Say hello to Bertie on his adoption page here: https://themayhew.org/dogs/bertie/.

Are you ready for this week's ? Simba arrived back in March due to a change in circumstances in her previous home.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Simba to find her fur-ever home. It was love at first sight when Wendy and Del met Simba. 💜

Since being rehomed in April, Simba has made great progress and has settled in beautifully. Wendy and Del have taken things at a steady pace, working with a dog trainer to establish the basics. At nine-years-old, it's never too late to learn, and we are so proud of Simba!

In the last four months, Simba has been on quite a number of adventures. She's built her own fan club at the local pub, explored the local scenery through lots of walks, had her first visit to the beach, and even been on her first holiday, where she loved the new sights and smells, but wasn't so keen on the pebbles. 😃

When she's not adventuring, Simba loves a cuddle and enjoying her home comforts. Wendy and Del can't imagine their life without Simba now and have found the whole experience of adopting to be very rewarding. They are looking forward to many years of adventuring together, and we know Simba will be too. 💜

It's , and today we have the gorgeous Kitty! 😍 One of the first things you might notice about Kitty is her beautiful eyes. 😻

If you have the pleasure of meeting Kitty, you'll also notice that she's an absolute snuggle bug who loves nothing more than settling down on your lap and receiving lots of love. 💜

Kitty is looking for a quiet home where she's ideally the only pet. Being such a gentle girl, she can possibly live with children. 🏠 You can find out more about Kitty on our website: https://themayhew.org/cats/kitty/.

As the saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words," and we think this one says a lot. 🥰 Our team were recently delighted to see Bessie head off to her forever home. 💜

Bessie has always put a smile on the face of everyone she meets, and we have no doubt she will continue spreading joy to the people in her life. 💜

26/07/2024

For this week's , we have the gorgeous Minnie. 🥰

Minnie arrived in our care at 13-years-old after being found as a stray. Fortunately, she was in good health and soon ready to find a home.

Having heard that black and white cats can be overlooked - especially when they are older - Minnie's adopter, Boo, wanted to give her a loving home.

Boo now describes Minnie as the "purr-fect fur-iend" and one of the "cuddliest cats" she has ever had, with "so much character."

Minnie likes to spend her days strolling around her garden, giving herself a manicure on the wooden decking, and receiving lots of cuddles. 🥰 Boo wakes up every morning with Minnie curled up next to her. 💜

It sounds like Minnie and Boo are the paw-fect pair, and we're so grateful to Boo for giving Minnie the chance she deserved. 💜

24/07/2024

How many whiskers can you count in today's family portrait? 😺

These kittens aren't quite ready for adoption yet, as they're still too young. While we're not accepting applications for them at the moment, we have many other lovely cats looking for a forever home. You can meet them all by visiting our website here: https://themayhew.org/cats/.

They deserve love 💜

It's #NationalDogDay! A very impaw-tant day to celebrate our loyal and loving friends. 🐶 💜 🐶 Here are some of our dogs currently looking for love and hoping that someone special will notice them! https://themayhew.org/dogs/.

Cuteness overload!

If you've been keeping up with all things Mayhew, you’ll have seen that there’s been an increase in the number of cats and kittens needing our help. Since it’s #Caturday, we thought we’d introduce you to some of the young kittens we've been caring for! We hope you enjoy our kitten cam and seeing what they’ve been getting up to. 🐱 https://themayhew.org/cats/.

He deserves a home as special as he is 💜

Boss has been on quite the journey since he first arrived at the beginning of the year. After everything he has been through, he really does deserve to find a home as special as he is. 💜 https://themayhew.org/cats/boss/.

Happy #International#CatDay!

It's #InternationalCatDay and we're celebrating what we've achieved so far this year! 😻 With your support, we've rehomed over 250 cats into loving homes. That's over 250 cats now enjoying full food bowls, a safe place to sleep, and lots of well-deserved love. 💜 But that's not all! We've also helped many other cats in our local communities. From essential care packages to 1:1 support, our incredible team are helping to change lives every day. These achievements wouldn't be possible without your support, so we hope you'll join us in celebrating the difference we're making together. 🐱💜 In the video, you'll see some of the cats we've rehomed this year. Do you recognise any? Let us know in the comments!

Happy Birthday, Starsky and Hutch!

It's Starsky and Hutch's birthday! And what better way to celebrate than with cake! 🎂😋 As you can see, Starsky and Hutch kindly wanted to share the last cake with a good friend of theirs. 🐶 We hope you'll join us in wishing Starsky and Hutch the happiest of birthdays! 🎉 For their birthday wish, they hope to soon find their fur-ever homes, and that their Mayhew friends will too! 💜 https://themayhew.org/dogs/.

Look at her transformation!

An update on Sophie! 🐱 💜 Sophie arrived in June after concerned members of the public brought her in. Fortunately, they did, as Sophie was in need of urgent medical care due to the poor condition of her skin. She was covered in fleas, and a severe flea allergy was causing her a lot of discomfort. She was also underweight and in need of regular meals and lots of nutrition. After six weeks of loving care, we are pleased to share that Sophie is feeling much better. She's much happier in herself and no longer in discomfort. We're excited for the next step in Sophie's journey, which is finding her a forever home! 🏠 💜

He deserves gold 🥇

Ace might not be competing in the Olympic Games, but he wins gold every day for being a good boy. 🥇 💜

She's been through so much 💔

After everything she has been through, She-Ra is looking for a loving home where she can feel safe and secure. 💜 Having her world turned upside down, She-Ra will need time and patience to find her paws and feel settled once again. She-Ra can be a bit grumbly at times (and who can blame her?), so she is best suited to a quiet, adult-only home where she will be the only pet and can soak up all the love she desperately deserves. 💜 https://themayhew.org/cats/she-ra/.

The best news 💜

Do you remember Maisy and Misty? 🐱 We are so pleased to share that, after over six months of waiting, Maisy and Misty have been rehomed together! 💜 We hope you'll join us in wishing them both the very best of luck in their new home. 🏠 💜

It's a big day for sports! 🎾⚽ Who else will be glued to their screens like the Mad Max kittens here? 😺 Whether you're following the matches or not, we hope you have a lovely Sunday with your four-legged friends. 🐾

If I fits, I sits 😸

If I fits, I sits. 😸 We think Mason might need a bigger box, but give him an A* for effort. 📦 Mason is currently enjoying his time on foster, but would love a forever home to call his own. He's a loving character and as you can see here, will definitely keep you entertained. 😀 https://themayhew.org/cats/mason/.

Who would you take home?

This #Caturday, we hope you'll enjoy these 60 seconds of pure adorableness! 😻 All of these cats are currently looking for their forever homes. 🏠 Who would you take home if you could? 💜 https://themayhew.org/cats/.

They deserve a chance 💔

Since sharing their video a few weeks ago, the Mad Max kittens still haven't received any applications. 💔 Max, Maxina, Maximillan, Maxwell, and Maximus are just three-months-old and desperately hoping to find the forever homes they deserve. They all have wonderful, unique personalities and would love for the chance to have people get to know them The Mad Max kittens can be rehomed in pairs or separately. If you're not in a position to adopt currently, please do share to help these young kittens. So far, they have spent every day of their lives in a shelter. Let's change that. 💜

How smart is our sweet boy, Ace? 😍

How smart is our sweet boy, Ace? 😍 At just one-year-old, Ace is a playful and active young dog looking for a furever home where he can continue his training. We’re incredibly proud of the progress Ace has made and can’t wait for him to find the right home where we know he'll make the most wonderful, loving companion. 💜 To find out more about Ace, visit our website here: https://themayhew.org/dogs/ace/.

He just wants someone to share his heart with 💜

Coco would like to introduce himself to you this #WhiskersWednesday. 🐱 If there’s a way to Coco’s heart, it’s with affection. 💜 He just needs to find someone to share his big heart with. As an FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) cat, Coco will need to be an indoor only cat or have access to an enclosed garden. With the right care, FIV cats can live long and healthy lives. You can find out more about Coco here: https://themayhew.org/cats/coco-indoor-or-enclosed-garden/.

The best news 💜

We have some wonderful news to share… Michael and Sara have been adopted! 💜 Michael and Sara arrived last year as young kittens, abandoned in a cardboard box with their siblings. While their brothers and sisters found homes quickly, it took a bit longer for this pair. But their wait was worth it, as they recently found their forever home - together. 💜

How did they do?

Trying the viral #handsin trend with some of our rescue dogs. Who do you think had more fun? The humans or the dogs? 🐶💜 You can meet all of the dogs that we currently have available for adoption here: https://themayhew.org/dogs/.

They all deserve a loving home

Would you like to meet some of the cats we currently have available for adoption? 🐱 We have a cuddly bunch today. 🥰 To find out more about them, including the type of homes they are looking for head to our website: https://themayhew.org/cats/.

He's been through so much 💔

Sweet boy Niko recently arrived in our care as an unclaimed stray. It was soon apparent just how much Niko had been through. 💔 After first meeting Niko, we could tell that he was unable to see properly. We suspect that he had some previous trauma to his right eye, which has caused permanent damage. We also suspect that he has a cataract in his left eye. Fortunately, Niko is not in any pain and he copes extremely well with his limited vision. When he arrived, he also had overgrown nails that were cutting into his paws, causing infections. This has now been treated, and Niko is feeling much better. 🐶 Despite everything he has been through, Niko is extremely loving and affectionate. He really is a special soul with a sensitive side that just needs to be nurtured and taken care of. https://themayhew.org/dogs/niko/. If you're not in a position to adopt, please consider supporting the ongoing care of animals like Niko so they can continue to receive everything they need. 💜 https://themayhew.org/get-involved/donate/.
