Alternatives to Individual Caregivers in a Pet Trust

Posted on July 6, 2009 by Danny Meek

I want to provide for my three cats upon my death, but I have no friends or relatives that I can be comfortable to nominate as a caregiver. Any suggestions?

Andy, I am pleased that you are taking the time to plan for the care of your cats after you can no longer do so.

The first obvious choice is a local humane society.

You can meet with the officials and view the physical surroundings to see if you approve. Is the facility too large or too crowded? Will you cats be caged for extended periods of time or are there free roaming areas available? What is the ratio of employees/volunteers to the number of animals? Does the society require a minimum amount of monetary donation to care for your cats? Is there an active adoption program available?

If the local humane society does not meet your standards; you can contact local non-profit animal protection groups, private sanctuaries or university veternarian programs.

There are viable alternatives to individual caregivers.
