Carl Garner, who is heading up the run from The Ace Cafe London, said: "We are once again looking forward to the annual Paws and Claws Run to The Mayhew Animal Home. Our Ace Cafe riders will leave in convoy to visit the animals who will be in the rescue centre for Christmas. We will all be lucky to spend the holidays with people we love, so it is great to be able to come and help care for animals who were sadly no longer wanted and who The Mayhew will find loving new homes."

The Mayhew CEO, Caroline Yates, said: "We look forward to this event every year as it is a generous display of animal affection that is much appreciated over the festive season. Naturally we wish that all of the animals here were able to enjoy Christmas in a new home, but these extra treats and toys from The Ace Cafe riders mean we can lavish them with some special attention this holiday."

For the Editor

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 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.
