ACCIDENTAL LITTER INITIATIVE
A program for pet owners with accidental litters, offering low-cost spaying for the mother and ensuring the entire litter is vetted and adopted through the shelter. This initiative is distinct from our stray and community cat programs and requires the surrender of all puppies or kittens, so we can control pet population effectively.
About Pawsitive
This program is designed for owners of personal pets who have experienced an accidental litter. The entire litter, whether puppies or kittens, must be surrendered to the shelter for vetting and adoption, while the mother will be spayed at a low cost by the shelter.
- The mother must be an owned pet.
- The program does not apply to stray or community cats, which are covered under the Feline Fix It Fund.
- Upon enrolling, it is mandatory to surrender all puppies or kittens to the shelter.
Distributing the litter independently undermines the program's objective, which is to curb overpopulation by ensuring all offspring, as well as the mothers, are spayed or neutered.
