More about Pet Refuge

Here you can read success stories and testimonials from a selection of the people and their pets that we have helped through our Pet Refuge programme.

Keeping pets and their people together

We are able to provide temporary care and shelter for the pets of people facing a short-term crisis, whether that be an ongoing issue or an unexpected emergency.

Tiger & Robert's Story

When Tiger's owner Robert desperately needed hip surgery back in December 2021, he didn't have anyone to care for Tiger over Christmas. We were able to look after Tiger and reunite the pair after three months apart.

Luna & Maisie's Story

Luna the three-year-old black cat needed our Pet Refuge service when her owner Maisie needed major spinal surgery. We cared for Luna while she waited for Maisie to recover from her surgery.

Daisy & Anastasia*

"My experience with Mayhew has been one I will treasure forever. The love, compassion and care that has been provided to both Anastasia and I has surpassed my best expectations in every way. I am so grateful for all of the services they have provided!"

John & Stella

“People shouldn’t be put off asking for help. Mayhew doesn’t judge anyone, they’re there to help people’s pets when the owner needs support. It’s literally been lifesaving for me."

Maisie & Luna

"The Pet Refuge programme allowed mum to confidently consent to having her operation. The inital contact with Mayhew through to Luna's 2 week stay was exemplary!
Kayleigh ensured there was a continuous dialogue with Luna's wellbeing, accompanied by pictures, which encouraged mum's rehabilitation."

Robert & Tiger

“My first call with Mayhew was like a ton of bricks being lifted off my shoulders. Mayhew were an absolute godsend in my hour of need. I would have felt very alone and even a little scared, without their support.”
