We just met with our attorney tonight to draw up wills and establish a
trust for our animal family.-it was easier than we thought. We have no
assets to speak of but are assigning a portion of our life insurance to
the pet trust fund. The most difficult thing was identifying a person
who would mange the care for them in the fashion we wanted. The trust
will pay a monthly stipend to the caretaker for their care and will be
dispensed either to the caretaker or an assigned charity upon the death
of the last of them.

Awww, poor old guy! I know animals are abandoned all the time,
but it breaks my heart to think how he must have felt going from the
comfort and security of his home to finding himself without his
person(s), just a throw-a-way on the street.
That makes me realize even more so how important it is to try to
make arrangements for our pets before we die. It's not always possible
however and wishes aren't always carried out. But, I have made
informal arrangements with friends to take care of our animals
initially if my husband and I both die at the same time or are
incapacitated. And we are going to ask my husband's sister if she
would take one or two cats (we have four). I would want my family and
friends to know about any no-kill shelters in my area so if they didn't
want my cats they could at least take them there.
Does anyone have any suggestions? We wouldn't be able to
provide a trust at this time; it just isn't a financial option right
now.

Geez, now that is sad this poor guy couldn't live
with a family member.
What I know of that rescue he will be safe.
