🖤 Meet Stewie and Wolfie, the very best of friends. 🖤
This Black Cat Awareness Day, we're celebrating wonderful black cats like these two. Despite their loving natures and larger-than-life personalities, black cats often wait longer to find their forever homes.
Stewie and Wolfie prove there's nothing unlucky about black cats, unless you count being unlucky enough not to have one in your life! 🐾
Got a black cat of your own? We'd love to see them! Share a photo in the comments below.

Happy Ending Alert! 💕

Back in August, Wallace's wait finally came to an end when he was adopted after 503 days in our care.

A familiar face to many of our followers and a much-loved favourite among staff, Wallace captured the hearts of everyone he met. That's why we're so thrilled to share these photos of him settling beautifully into his forever home.

We always knew your special someone was out there, Wallace. We're so proud of how far you've come and wish you a lifetime of happiness. ❤️🐾

Long live the king. 👑

Mufasa is a playful, curious boy who has spent the last couple of months ruling over his foster carer’s home. In that time, he’s claimed her bed, the sofa and every windowsill.

He loves company, head scratches and anything crinkly. He’s just as happy keeping himself busy while you’re at work. Sudden noises can make him a bit jumpy, so a calm home will suit him.

He’d like to be the only pet in a home without children and with a garden to explore.

Could you give him his forever pride? Find out more here https://themayhew.org/cats/mufasa/ or share this to help him find his people. 🧡

Meet Charming Charlie 👑

Charlie is a gentle, affectionate boy with a sensitive side. He can be a little shy when he first meets you, but give him time, and he’ll show you just how loving he is, usually by hopping straight onto your lap! 🥰

Once Charlie bonds with someone, it’s for keeps. He looks to his person for reassurance and will be devoted to them.

He’s clever, keen to learn and loves his training sessions. He’s also a total foodie who is always up for a treat (or two!). 🦴

Charlie hasn’t had much experience with other dogs, so he can feel a bit worried when they come close. He’ll need an adopter who can carry on his training and socialisation, with calm, positive introductions to well-matched dogs.

Could that be you?
Charlie is looking for a person or family with the time and patience to help him grow into the happy, confident adult he has every chance of becoming. In the right home, he’ll be an incredibly rewarding companion. 💜

🌟 Meet Comet, our gentle little star! 🌟

Abandoned, then brought to Mayhew, Comet is doing so much better with some TLC and is ready to shine. ✨

At 5 years and 5 months, he’s still finding his confidence. He needs space to get to know you, but once he has, expect sweet meows and plenty of head bumps. 🐱 He’s very gentle, loves chasing string and playing with his little toys, and has reduced vision.

Comet needs a quiet, patient, adult-only home with a garden, and no other pets or children.

Could he feel at home in your orbit? He could be your purr-fect match! 💛

A dog doesn't need your story. They only want to know if you've got a free hand for a fuss.

This year, our TheraPaws volunteers Elvis & Reggie have been visiting Restart Lives, who help people experiencing homelessness take their next step.

Today is World Mental Health Day and World Homeless Day, and we're proud our TheraPaws dogs get to play a small, waggy part in Restart Lives' work.

Some dogs are too good to keep to yourself. Could yours volunteer with TheraPaws? Take quiz: https://themayhew.org/therapaws
