Dennis the Menace? Not this time. There’s nothing menacing about our Dennis, only love.

When Dennis first arrived at Mayhew in early May, he needed urgent veterinary care. Having been living as a stray, he had sustained an injury on the side of his face which was likely caused from a cat fight.

With no medical intervention, the wound had turned into a painful abscess and Dennis was at high risk of infection. Fortunately, we were able to help before it was too late.

As soon as Dennis arrived at our Clinic, he was able to receive the treatment he needed, including antibiotics. As well as veterinary care, Dennis received his own cosy cabin where he could rest and receive nutritious meals. Not to mention lots of love from our Cattery Team.

With some time and dedicated care, Dennis has made an incredible recovery. His face has completely healed, and he’s really come out of his shell. From a shy and reserved cat, Dennis now happily greets people when they enter his cabin and loves to receive fuss.

Sadly, his time on the streets has left a permanent mark and Dennis has been diagnosed with FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), but this won’t prevent him from living a normal and healthy life ensuring he receives the proper care he deserves.

Our Cattery Team (and the rest of us!) have fallen completely and utterly in love with Dennis and can’t wait to see him find the home he deserves.

With the support of people like you, we were able to treat Dennis and be there for him when he needed it most. If left untreated, Dennis could have become very poorly.

After receiving the help he needed, Dennis has made an incredible recovery.
