Channel 4 presenter supports Mayhew during cat crisis

Summer heralds the arrival of kitten season and the rescue home is inundated with tiny felines, with over 50 dumped in the last three weeks. A problem which could be easily prevented by pet owners neutering their cats.

The Sex Education Show presenter, Anna Richardson, recently adopted two kittens from The Mayhew, who had arrived after they were found abandoned at the bottom of someone’s garden.

Anna said: “It is such a sad situation that The Mayhew struggles to take in and house all these tiny kittens who are literally arriving in droves at the door of the rescue centre. All these unwanted kittens wouldn’t be fighting for survival if all cat owners took their pets to be neutered, after all you can give condoms to kids but not to kitties.”

The Mayhew is crammed full with cats and kittens and we are struggling to rehome them quickly enough before more arrive.

We are only taking in ‘emergency cases’ and callers to the Home wanting to give up their animals are having to be added to our waiting list. But that doesn’t stop numerous others being dumped on our doorstep in boxes, bags and bins. We are completely full.

Over the course of just one day last week, we had 18 arrivals, 13 of these were kittens and seven of these kittens were under five days old.

If you can help us in any way it would be hugely appreciated at this very difficult time, Thank you.
