Young pigs needing a home, Scotland, UK

Long story really but little boar and his 2 sisters were an oops litter when a friend who used to foster piggies for the local rescue had a neighbour with 2 pairs of piggies. He had bred one litter of 4 with homes lined up although one owner didn't turn up - for the tortoiseshell girl.
Sadly daddy boar was still with mum after she gave birth leading to the oops litter including Little Boar. We got homes arranged for the sows as Thistle Cavies were taking one sister while I was taking the other sister and tortie girl leaving just a home required for the little boar - who is now heading for Jaycey. Sadly little boar wasn't taken out at 21 days, only a few days later but already too late! Oops litters now due to both sisters and mum - again. So now I will be taking a couple of pups off the Thistle litter instead as they don't want too many to look after again. This leaves homes required for a whole load of young pups plus tortie girl and sister.
One sister gave birth this morning to 2 sows and 2 boars. My friend can't take any more piggies as she had 20 already but is fostering the other pregnant sister temporarily. This means the neighbour just has the pregnant mum to look after along with his other piggies and is mortified and overwhelmed by what has happened. If only the right info had been read at the time. :-/
