Our trusted future care plan is designed to care for your pet if you are no longer around to provide them with a home. For anyone leaving a gift for RSPCA NSW in their Will, putting a future care plan in place through Home Ever After is completely free.

Having Home Ever After as a future care plan for your pet takes away the worry of an uncertain future. With the welfare of your pet as our priority, you can know for certain that, if you were no longer around for your animal companion, RSPCA NSW will be there to lend a hand.

To guarantee that your pet can receive the care you would want them to experience, we ensure that a profile is created by the person who knows them best – you. This means, should we need to rehome your adorable animal companion, we can match their needs with someone who can offer them a home as good as yours.
Even if we find your pet another home, we promise to ensure their continued wellbeing for the rest of their natural life. As part of our Home Ever After program, your pet’s future welfare is regularly assessed with in-person visits and periodic check-ins, providing continued care and protection for your beloved forever friend.

Friends and family who know your pets and are in a suitable position to take on the responsibility are the best choice. If for some reason those intentions fall through, Home Ever After can act as your ‘insurance policy’ – this will ensure that you and your family have a secure second option in place should you ever need it.
Yes, if your pets enter the HEA program and are a bonded pair, we will do everything we can to honour your wishes and rehome them together.
We have a whole array of animals already enrolled in the program mainly consisting of cats, dogs and small companion animals, but the program welcomes most animals great and small.
Large livestock animals such as horses, goats, pigs, cows, sheep, alpacas and donkeys will be considered if they are domesticated or tamed pets and are kept purely for companionship or pleasure. A maximum of two such animals may be enrolled (in addition to smaller companion animals).
With exotic pets such as reptiles and parrots, we advise owners to seek help from a specialist rescue group or animal sanctuary.
There is no charge during your lifetime, this program is free when you kindly leave a gift in your Will to RSPCA NSW. Gifts in Wills help to ensure that no animal is left behind or has to go without a safe and loving home. You can be assured that your future gift will make a huge difference to the lives of so many animals in need.
Yes, you have to be over 18 and be the legal owner of your pet to enrol them on the program. However, there are no age requirements for your furry friend!
Yes, if you are interested in adopting a pet from the HEA program, please email hea@rspcansw.org.au with your name and phone number and a member of our team will respond to your enquiry. As with all our adoptions, an RSPCA NSW staff member will determine your suitability according to the animal’s pet profile, needs and requirements.
If you believe your customers and/or pet owning staff and friends would benefit from knowing about the HEA program, you can promote it by displaying the HEA brochures and accompanying poster in your workplace. Click here to request a free HEA promotional pack.
