Joseph’s children visited infrequently, always hoping this would be the last time. Today they ranted and raged over him adopting a cat and her kitten. He was not listening.

He knew what he wanted: it was his money and the lawyer made it easy to determine how to provide for them.

A trust fund of $50,000 will keep them permanently housed in a good foster home, when he was gone. $50 per week for fifteen years, plus $10,000 for possible vet bills would cover it. The balance to the Cat Haven. He could hear them purring. Such sweet little kitties.
