Where does Last Hope get their cats and dogs?
All dogs are rescued from local municipal shelters (pounds). Our cats are either death-due pound rescues or are rescued after being abandoned on the streets.
How can I ensure your animals are disease free?
All of our cats and kittens are feline leukemia/AIDS negative and are fully veterinarian checked. They are given all their required shots, and the cats are given flea protection and de-wormed before adoption. The person adopting receives all the paperwork stating such.
Are the dogs and cats spayed and neutered, and are they friendly?
All of our animals are spayed and neutered and are temperament evaluated before adoption. To the best of our ability, we advise the adopter of the personality of the animal prior to adoption.
If you are interested in one of the dogs you see on this site or to inquire about others, please call (516)509-0137 or (631)946-9528 or visit us during the following hours:

There is a $100.00 adoption fee for the cats and $150.00 adoption fee for dogs.
These fees are non-refundable.
Does Last Hope accept donations?
Last Hope operates solely from private donations and from funds raised from our low cost vaccination clinics and varied fund-raising events held throughout the year. Please see our Donations page for more information.
I need help rescuing a feral cat colony. How can Last Hope help?
Last Hope can supply humane cat traps (on Long Island only) with a $50 refundable deposit. The cats may then be spayed/neutered and released to the colony if there is a food source. Otherwise, the cats can be placed in the Last Hope program if they are deemed adoptable and are feline leukemia/aids negative. If the cats are accepted into the program, they have to be friendly and fostered by you and kept indoors. If you wish to be a volunteer who fosters cats or kittens, please download a volunteer application.
What is a Last Hope foster parent?
A foster parent is an individual who takes on the responsibility of providing temporary shelter and caring for a designated number of rescued cats or dogs up for adoption in the Last Hope program. For more information, leave a message at 631-425-1884 or download a volunteer application.
I have a dog or cat I can’t keep. What should I do?
Last Hope only handles death-due pound animals and stray and abandoned cats. We are unable to take individuals’ pets. Please refer to our lists of public and private rescue organizations.
How can I spay or neuter my animal inexpensively?
- Inexpensive Spay and Neuter (800-248-SPAY) will give discount certificates for participating vets. (For strays only)
- Friends of Animals (212-247-8120) provides discount certificates.
- Island Rescue in Bay Shore (631-968-8700) provides low cost feline and canine spay/neuter
Sorry, Last Hope does not subsidize spay/neutering for individuals’ animals.
How can I vaccinate my animal inexpensively?
