Supporting Animal Welfare withThe Mayhew Animal Home
What we do atThe Mayhew
Established since 1886, The Mayhew
Animal Home is one of the busiest and
most effective animal welfare
organisations in London today, helping
thousands of animals escape a life of
cruelty and neglect every year and
tackling animal welfare issues through
prevention and education. We are a
recognised animal welfare and rehoming
charity in London and internationally.
We work to encourage responsible pet
ownership and promote neutering as the
most humane method of addressing the
pet overpopulation crisis that we face.
The Mayhew receives no government or
lottery funding. We rely on the generosity
and support of corporate and business
sponsors, and the general public, who
enable us to care for and help thousands
of animals every year.
Promoting animal welfare
and helping pet owners
Our adoption team works hard to rehome
the hundreds of abandoned and neglected
dogs and cats that arrive into our care to
loving, forever families.
We work to prevent animal welfare issues
through our innovative and broad range
of community-based animal care,
education and welfare projects.
Our team of Animal Welfare Officers
respond daily to emergency cases of
dumped and neglected animals, as well
as working with the homeless, elderly
and vulnerable to help them care and
look after their pets. They also educate
animal carers and owners in the
community on standards of welfare and
work tirelessly to address the issues of
irresponsible pet ownership. The team
strive to contain and control the feral cat
population through our Trap Neuter
Return programme and they work with
local councils, housing associations and
the Metropolitan Police to address the
misuse and mistreatment of dogs.
Community Vet Clinic
Our highly skilled team of registered vets
and veterinary nurses in our Community
Vet Clinic offer pet treatment, care and
neutering at low cost so that pet care is
affordable to everyone. We offer
microchipping, health and dental checks,
vaccinations, worming and de-fleaing.
Our Vet Clinic is an approved veterinary
training centre where we train UK vet
students, vet nurses and overseas vets on
the latest neutering surgery and care
techniques. We also offer a Diploma in
Animal Care in conjunction with the
College of Animal Welfare.
Working overseas
Mayhew International is our overseas arm
where we work in countries including
Russia, Georgia, India and Afghanistan.
Through our international projects
working with animal organisations,
universities and training facilities,
governments and authorities we progress
animal welfare and education, neutering
and rabies prevention programmes which
relieves the suffering of animals globally
and helps local communities.
