Your Pet's Future. Your Lasting Legacy.
When your love for animals becomes your lasting legacy." Memorial Giving: Planning ahead gives you peace of mind—whether that means ensuring your own pet's future care, leaving a legacy that helps save cats from euthanasia, or both. At Jim Beam's Corner Cattery, we help you create the plan that's right for you.
Loving animals means different things to different people, and we honor all of it.
YOUR PET'S FUTURE
Worried about what happens to your beloved companion when you're gone?
We see it all the time when someone passes away. The family has no idea what to do with their pet. Without clear guidance, your loyal companion faces an uncertain future.
At the Cattery, you can ensure they receive:
- The perfect match for their unique needs
With our 12,000+ follower network, we connect your pet with the right home and relationships.
We assess personality, medical needs, and lifestyle fit to ensure a home that's perfect for who they are. Whether they're shy or social, need special care, or have specific habits, we find adopters who can provide exactly what your companion needs to thrive. - A safe, loving home
We thoroughly vet every adopter, ensuring they're prepared and committed to providing lifetime care for your companion.
We check references and ensure adopters understand your pet's specific needs. Your companion goes to people who are prepared, committed, and genuinely want to provide a lifetime of care. - A full belly and tender care
During their transition, your pet lives in our stress-free facility with veterinary care, socialization, and comfort.
Your pet stays happy and healthy in our free-roam environment until we find their forever family—and we ensure that family is ready to continue that care.
You choose their future home:
- Should the new home have children, or other pets?
- Does your cat prefer the indoors, or playtime outdoors as well?
- YOU decide what's right for them.
Planning for your pet's future: Discuss your wishes with your funeral director during pre-arrangements. Share your choices with family—we can work directly with loved ones and funeral homes. Gain peace of mind knowing your companion will receive the care and love they deserve.
Your legacy gift brings hope, healing, and second chances to cats who need love most.
Give now – see firsthand your legacy in action. Make a gift today and witness the impact during your lifetime. See how your generosity saves lives and brings hope to cats in need.
Memorial tributes – ask family and friends to donate in lieu of flowers. When planning funeral arrangements, you can request donations to the Cattery instead of flowers. We work directly with funeral homes and families to acknowledge gifts in your honor. Your memory becomes a lasting force for good.
Lifetime gifts – name us as your beneficiary for accounts or insurance. One of the simplest ways to leave a legacy: name Jim Beam's Corner Cattery as beneficiary on life insurance policies, retirement accounts (IRA, 401k), investment accounts, or bank accounts. This requires no attorney, no will changes—just a simple beneficiary form.
Memorial funds – establish an ongoing tribute through your local foundation. Establish a named fund through your local community foundation. Your fund continues giving year after year, and your name remains associated with animal welfare in perpetuity.
Will provisions – include us in estate planning with simple language. Include the Cattery in your will or trust. This can be a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate. Your attorney can add us with simple language.
