It is wise to prepare for unexpected events in your life that could leave your pets stranded. You'll want to make arrangements for someone you trust to care for your pets, and to give that person enough money to take care of the expenses for the cats' care. You will find an excellent discussion of ways to provide for your pets on the website of the New York City Bar Association. It covers planning for your pets in your will and planning for short-term pet care. It even includes sample will provisions you could share with your attorney when you have your will prepared. You will find this information at www.abcny.org. After you reach the above website, click on "Reports/Public" then "Brochures," which will take you to a link to a page on providing for your pets.

We also recommend the book Perpetual Care: Who Will Look After Your Pets if You're Not Around? written by Lisa Rogak. This book, written by a lawyer, explains how to plan for the future of your pets in the event of your death. It contains legal forms your lawyer can use. It's worthwhile reading for everyone who wants to be sure their pets are well cared for after they're gone.
