Just as we bond with and care for these companions, in turn they give us their devotion and trust. That they may suffer fear, loss and uncertainty after our demise is unthinkable. The RSPCA Home Ever After program admirably solves this concern of mine. Mark Young During a moment with my Cat Timmy, I thought sadly of his future if he should outlive me. I was therefore so relieved to hear of the RSPCA NSW Home Ever After program. This program provides peace of mind for pet owners and particularly gives older people an opportunity to gain the loving companionship of a cat or dog in their later years without worrying about their pet’s future care. Jan Brighton-Le-Sands Although a friend has offered to take Remy, I felt I needed a back-up plan for my much-loved pussy cat, so in case anything happens to my friend, the RSPCA HEA program is an excellent plan B. Jo Orange When I decided to enter my cat in the Home Ever After program I was impressed with the trouble the program Coordinator took to learn about my cat; the detail recorded reassured me that every effort will be made to find a suitable home for her should the need arise.
