If you're referring to pets that can be raised or cared for independently without parental involvement, most pets typically fall into this category since humans generally act as their caretakers from a young age. Here are some examples of pets you can care for independently:
---
1. Domesticated Pets
Cats: Kittens can be adopted as young as 8–12 weeks and raised by humans without their mother.
Dogs: Puppies are often adopted at 8 weeks or older and are fully reliant on their new owner.
Rabbits: Baby rabbits (kits) are typically ready for adoption at 8 weeks.

2. Small Mammals
Hamsters, Gerbils, and Mice: These pets don’t require parental care once weaned and are easy for humans to raise.
Guinea Pigs: These social pets are usually sold after weaning (4–6 weeks).
Rats: Intelligent and friendly, rats are independent once they’re adopted.

3. Reptiles and Amphibians
Snakes: Most hatchlings are independent from birth and don’t rely on their parents.
Turtles and Tortoises: Hatchlings are self-sufficient and only require proper care from their owner.
Lizards (e.g., Geckos): Baby lizards don’t rely on their parents after hatching.
Frogs and Axolotls: Amphibians are independent once they reach their juvenile stage.

4. Fish
Fish don’t rely on parental care. Once you have a proper aquarium setup, species like goldfish, guppies, or bettas are independent and easy to care for.
---
5. Invertebrates
Hermit Crabs: Completely independent pets.
Snails: Land or aquatic snails are self-sufficient and require minimal care.
Stick Insects: Hatchlings are entirely independent.

Note
Even though these pets don’t require "parents," they do rely on you to provide their basic needs, such
as food, water, shelter, and companionship (for social species).
