Your Love For Companion Pets Can Carry On Long After You Are Gone
It’s true! You can make a direct impact on the lives of companion pets by gifting a portion of your estate to Carol House Quick Fix Pet Clinic in your Last Will and Testament. Simply share, with your estate planner, your desire to bequeath a monetary gift or gifts of stock to Carol House Quick Fix Pet Clinic. Your donation will allow them to continue their award-winning spay and neuter work long after you are gone. Your donation will move St. Louis closer to being a “No Needless Kill Community”.
Estate gifting is a great alternative for you to support CHQFPC when your heart says, “I want to give”, but your pocket book says, “You don’t have the money right now.” If this sounds like an opportunity for which you would want to be remembered, please let your estate planner know. Then, contact Wendy at (314) 771-PETS, so you can be recognized as one of our “Fur-ever Friends”.
It is our hope that your gift will not be actualized for a long time, but when the time does arrive CHQFPC will use your legacy of love to make the lives of cats and dogs a whole lot better here on earth!
