Welcome
The Mayhew Animal Home was established in 1886 for the benefit of "the lost and starving dogs and cats of London so that they should have sanctuary from the cold inhumanity they are being dealt outside".
Today, The Mayhew is one of the busiest animal sanctuaries in London, rescuing thousands of animals from cruelty and neglect each year. We provide shelter and care for cats, dogs, rabbits and when the need arises, for a wide variety of other animals.
The Mayhew Animal Home strives to tackle the companion animal welfare crisis from every possible angle. The organisation is pro-active, innovative and continually works to assist animals and their carers.
We believe that animals, as living creatures, are entitled to legal, moral and ethical consideration, and have a value beyond economic measure. We aim to set the standards in animal welfare.
The Mayhew offers a wide variety of community services providing advice, care and assistance to animals and their carers whatever their circumstances.
