🐈 For Cats

A pet trust for your cat

Cats can live twenty years and hide their needs well. A cat trust puts a person, a plan, and funded instructions behind every one of those years.

The short answer: yes — a pet trust covers cats in every U.S. state. Because cats commonly live 15–20 years, a cat trust matters even more than most owners expect: it names the caregiver, funds two decades of care if needed, and makes your instructions — indoor-only, diet, the vet who knows them — legally enforceable under your state's pet-trust statute.

What matters most for cats

Twenty years is a real planning horizon

A healthy indoor cat adopted in your fifties can outlive many informal arrangements. The trust’s successor caregiver and successor trustee provisions keep the plan standing across decades.

Indoor rules and quiet needs

Cats mask illness and stress. Care instructions that specify indoor-only living, feeding, litter habits, and the signs that warrant a vet visit give a caregiver the knowledge your cat cannot speak.

Funding follows the food bowl

Annual costs for food, litter, and veterinary care add up across a long life — the funding checklist sizes the amount and routes it so it may only be spent on your cat.

Common questions

My cat is bonded to another cat — can the trust keep them together?

Yes. Your care instructions can direct that bonded animals stay together, and one trust covers both.

Can the caregiver be reimbursed?

Yes — the trust lets the caregiver receive reasonable reimbursement for approved expenses, so caring for your cat never becomes a financial burden.

What if my chosen caregiver can no longer serve?

The successor caregiver you name steps in, and the trust’s oversight provisions allow replacement if care ever falls short.
