Kelly Stevenson looks like a great place. Unfortunately I don't anticipate leaving an estate of $60,000 per cat. With my current 9 that would be $540,000. I'd have to win the lottery for me to end up leaving an estate like that. Sharyl

Vet students live on the premises to care for them and they also receive great care from the University's Vet Medical Center, which is right next door. You can leave any excess money that is not needed for their care, should they cross the bridge before their funds run out, to whichever medical program you want - for me it would probably be studying feline heart disease, for yall it would probably be studying FELV (depending on how they plan to study it, some of the studies have been...not good). http://www.cvm.tamu.edu/petcare/ I do not plan to leave to relatives, I have seen too many relatives dump the pets at the kill shelter before the person is cold in the ground.
