Mayhew is one of the most effective animal welfare organisations in London, reaching thousands of dogs and cats to escape a life of abandonment, neglect and cruelty each year.

More than just a rescue and rehoming centre, Mayhew strives to tackle the companion animal welfare crisis through the delivery of a number of community-based outreach programmes.

We recognise that education is key, not only to achieve a reduction in the number of unwanted dogs and cats, but also to ensure that all animals receive appropriate care.

Mayhew has a team of Animal Welfare Officers that respond to animal welfare issues out in the wider community and deliver a range of community initiatives, including a Trap, Neuter, Release programme for London’s feral cats, cross collaboration with government and non-government agencies working to address the challenges of irresponsible ownership, and provide ongoing support to carers and pet owners in difficulty.

Mayhew has a growing International presence to further promote Mayhew’s message of empathetic companion animal welfare through a network of community based animal care initiatives.
