Several clients have expressed concern over the years about what would happen to their beloved cats in the event of their death. Often, the family or friends can be counted on to maintain the health and happiness of the pets, but sometimes there is no one available who could be trusted to provide the same loving care that the owners do.

Over the years we have agreed to take on that responsibility for some of our clients. A possible solution to ease your mind would be the following, which you should discuss with Dr. Sullivan. The Cat Practice / Dr. Sullivan will agree to assume all responsibilities for the cat’s care for life – feeding and medical expenses. As you realize, cats generally live 15-17 years, so expenses could easily mount up. If we agree to be your cat’s guardians, we would require you to take out a $10,000.00 life insurance policy with Dr. Sullivan / The Cat Practice as sole beneficiary. We will keep your cats here until we can find them a first class, loving home and assume financial responsibility for their medical care, for the rest of their lives, even if they are residing in a private, adopted home. Obviously, it is easier to adopt out cats who do not have the risk of costing their new guardians a lot of money due to chronic or catastrophic illness. As well as Dr. Sullivan’s agreement, you should leave careful instructions with neighbors or relatives or even directions in your home that in the event of your demise, the cats should be taken directly to The Cat Practice. So, to this end we offer this service as an option for you to consider.

I hope this is helpful. As I said, I have had many clients who were very troubled that their dear cats might end up at the ASPCA or other agencies which do Euthanize unwanted pets. So, as to this end, we offer this service as an option for you to consider.
