Do you have a will or other plans to help ensure your pets will be cared for?
Having a will is one of the ways to help ensure your pets will be cared for the way you want, if you pass away. There are many ways to do this, including visiting an attorney or using an online will making service. WillMaker is one, but there are many.
One resource that outlines steps you can take is from a great organization called Best Friends. Here is a link to their page about creating a will or trust to help make sure your pets are taken care of:

Other Options to Plan for Your Animals
Besides a will, it is beneficial to have conversations with people in advance, regarding your wishes and their willingness to help your animals should something happen to you. Here is another great page about steps you can take – this one from the ASPCA:
