Not only does Easter mean a royal wedding and a new beginning for Wills and Kate, but it also brings the start of Kitten Season for UK rescue centres as homeless kitten litters start appearing in high numbers.

Two kittens at The Mayhew Animal Home are a couple of the many orphaned felines looking to find new homes and happiness this Easter.

Staff at the rescue centre have named the homeless kittens, Wills and Kate, in the hope April will be a month to remember as they find new beginnings like the royal couple.

The Mayhew Animal Home was established in 1886 for the benefit of “the lost and starving dogs and cats of London so that they should have sanctuary from the cold inhumanity they are being dealt outside”. Today, The Mayhew is one of the busiest animal sanctuaries in London, rescuing thousands of animals from cruelty and neglect each year. We provide shelter and care for cats, dogs, rabbits and when the need arises, for a wide variety of other animals.

The Mayhew Animal Home strives to tackle the companion animal welfare crisis from every possible angle. The organisation is pro-active, innovative and continually works to assist animals and their carers. We aim to set the standards in animal welfare. The Mayhew offers a wide variety of community services providing advice, care and assistance to animals and their carers whatever their circumstances.
