Wills and Bequests

RSPCA Victoria recognises that many people are concerned about their pets welfare if they are no longer able to care for them personally. That’s why we have developed the Bequest Animal Program. It is one way of ensuring your pet receives the love and care it deserves, for life. You can ensure that your pet will always have a warm and comfortable home by completing a registration form and making a specific bequest in your will. This is all it takes to ensure the ongoing care of your pet. Should the need arise, the RSPCA will assume full responsibility for your pet and place it in a loving foster care home environment. The RSPCA will oversee all veterinary care for your pet, and we maintain frequent contact with our foster carers. Just as a will allows you to make provision for your friends and family, you can now extend that provision to your pets. To include your pet in the Bequest Animal Program, you must include a specific wording in your will. This allows the RSPCA to take full responsibility for your pet. A minimum bequest amount will also provide for the ongoing veterinary costs for the life of your pet. Making or changing a will is not expensive or difficult, and a solicitor or trustee company can help you. For more information please contact Donor Relations Co-ordinator, Casey Andrews.
