The puppet comedy, created by Adam Miller, began on BBC Three in 2010 and recently concluded its second run.
Voice actor Tetsell - who plays idiotic cat Marion - broke the news of the show's cancellation on Twitter.
"If you were (like me) hoping Mongrels would get a 3rd series, I've got some bad news..." he wrote.
When a fan enquired if he was being serious, Tetsell replied: "Yeah, we've all been sacked now."
In August 2010, Tetsell also broke the news of Mongrels being picked up for a second series.
The series was accused of plagiarism in the same year, with writer Brian West claiming that the show's format and characters were copied from his own project Pets.
Comedian Johnny Vegas recently hit out at BBC Three controller Zai Bennett after his own show Ideal was cancelled.
Since assuming the role of controller, Bennett has also axed popular behind-the-scenes show Doctor Who Confidential and commissioned a third series of sitcom Him & Her.
