Last Litter Programme

Facing an Unexpected Litter or Pregnancy?

We’re Here to Help.

At Zentopia Pet Rescue, we’re committed to creating a more compassionate future—one animal at a time. As part of our ongoing mission to reduce the number of unwanted animals entering already overcrowded shelters, we offer a dedicated solution through our Last Litter Program.

Our Last Litter Program

If your pet has had an unplanned litter, we’re here to support you. Allow the mother to care for her babies, and when the time is right, we’ll:

  • Find loving homes for each of them, and

  • Cover the cost to desex the mother—so this can truly be her last litter.

Together, we can break the cycle of accidental litters and give every animal the chance at a better life.

Let’s make this her last litter—together.

Helping You Break the Cycle – With Care and Compassion

Accidental litters and unplanned pregnancies can happen—but you don’t have to face it alone. Our Last Litter Program is here to offer a kind and practical solution for families who want to ensure this is their pet’s final litter, while giving every animal the best possible start to life.

By entrusting the litter to Zentopia Pet Rescue, you’re taking a powerful step to help reduce the number of unwanted animals in our community—and to give these animals a safe and loving future.

What We Offer

  • Safe, supportive care for pregnant Animals, including whelping
    and raising their babies in foster homes under veterinary supervision

  • Comprehensive healthcare for mums and babies: vet checks,
    vaccinations, worming, microchipping, and desexing at the appropriate age

  • Responsible rehoming into loving, forever families

  • Support for the mother animal, who will typically return to her original home
    after weaning her litter and being desexed—unless the family prefers to
    surrender her as well

This program exists to support you and your pet, with no judgment—just a commitment to breaking the cycle of accidental litters and improving animal welfare across our community.

If your pet is pregnant or has had an unexpected litter and you’d like help with rehoming the litter and desexing the mother, please complete our Last Litter Application to speak with a member of our team.

Together, we can give this litter the best start—and make sure it’s the last.

How does the Last Litter Program work?

 

Through the Last Litter Program, our experienced carers take on your pregnant pet (dog,cat,rabbit,ferret,ect). We help the Mum to raise her babies until they are weened. We then desex Mum for FREE and return her to you. ZPR will get the babies vaccinated, treated for worms and fleas, spay/neutered, and microchipped. Our wonderful volunteer foster carer team will care for them at home until we find each of them a perfect forever family, all at no cost to you.

Contact us as soon as possible to see if we can help you. Even if your animal is early in its pregnancy, we can start to organise carers as this can take some time. Our application form is ready for you below – please provide as much information as possible about your pet so we can assess if they’re suitable for the Last Litter program.

Our last litter program prioritises pregnant animals and litters under 4 weeks old. The goal of this program is to intervene and ensure a safe and healthy gestation period followed by a successful birth. If the litter has already passed 6weeks and or weaned, this falls outside the primary goal of the program and we are unlikely to be able to help you.

We can’t help everyone with our limited resources but we do our best. Please be polite and respectful to our volunteer team handling your application.
