Context
Mayhew provides a range of animal welfare and veterinary services, in the UK and abroad. We offer expert
veterinary care, rescue and rehoming, programmes in the community and guidance and support to improve
the lives of dogs and cats in need.
We operate, in the main, from our historic building in north London but also have operations in Georgia and
Afghanistan. Our Cattery Carers are an integral part of our work to ensure cats in need receive the care,
support and love they deserve.
Job purpose/summary
At Mayhew, cats in need come through the doors of our Home, a rescue and rehoming shelter in North West
London every day. We have up to 80 cats in our care at any one time and many more temporarily living in
foster homes. We are very proud of the vital work we do to make sure they have the care, support and love
they deserve, and our Cattery Carers are at the heart of this.
Our Cattery Carers are an important part of our team, making sure each cat in our care has their specific
needs met, including feeding, cleaning, assessing, rehoming, providing enrichment and grooming.
We offer a caring and supportive team, lots of variety and the opportunity to make a lasting difference to the
lives of cats who rely on us.
