How would I tactfully ask someone to adopt my pets if anything ever happened to me?

I'm in my 20's but have 14 cats and would like to make sure they would have homes if something ever happened to me. I have a few animal loving family members to make this request to but don't know how to tactfully word it so it doesn't sound as if I'm going to commit sucide or die tomorrow. I don't want them to worry.



I'm writing them in an email.How would I tactfully ask someone to adopt my pets if anything ever happened to me?Hey from another cat herd owner in their 20s. Thats great you are getting things in order. Please make sure that arrangements and back ups are put into your will. You can do something called a pet trust. Thats what I did a few years back. So each of my animals has a certain amount of money that will provide for them for the rest of their lives. I also have a person in place and back ups.



The way I did it was to tell them I was just trying to make sure that should anything happen to me that my animals would be provided for and protected. That you never know what can happen in life and it would give you peace of mind to know they were there should there be an accident, etc.How would I tactfully ask someone to adopt my pets if anything ever happened to me?
~just say, "I am in good health, happy and young, but I worry sometimes that If something were to happen to me, my cats wont have a home."~How would I tactfully ask someone to adopt my pets if anything ever happened to me?Just say that you were thinking about life and thinking about how anything could happen at any moment and you want to be somewhat prepared and just nonchalantly ask if they'd be willing to take in a few cats or make sure they go to a good home is all.How would I tactfully ask someone to adopt my pets if anything ever happened to me?
YOu could always ask your neighbors or other close friends if they would be willing to look after your cats should something unexpected happen to you. Just casually bring it up.How would I tactfully ask someone to adopt my pets if anything ever happened to me?Just ask... Put it in your will as well. Ask them, and tell them that they won't have to worry about it for awhile. Cuz they probably won't... But make sure they actually get along with the pet too.
You could say: "do you know I think you are just the kind of nice generous person I would love to have caring for one of my cats, should I get knocked down by a tram, or a Rangers supporter, please make me smile..........."How would I tactfully ask someone to adopt my pets if anything ever happened to me?
I love the fact you are so practical about your animals welfare, I have "God parents" for my cats too and know it is a difficult thing to ask of someone. Speaking of being practical...I would think of more than one home to participate in adopting your cats, fourteen cats is illegal in many states and over-whelming in most. But to answer your initial question, tell the person that you respect them and what they stand for, let them know you are drawn in by their compassionate side (which is true, right? otehrwise you wouldn 't be asking them!)then say, so because of that I was thinking of asking you to be god parents to...and ask them which cats they could take. Your quest is admirable and I wish you all the luck, sweety
Do not do it. Begin a trust fund for the cats. Don't expect friends to be burdened with the trouble of taking care of them. They may say yes, and haul those felines right off to the pound. Best idea for you is to stick it out, earn some money, do the trust fund which will provide for the pests when you die of old age at 93.How would I tactfully ask someone to adopt my pets if anything ever happened to me?
I don't think there is a way to say it that wouldn't sound suicidal. Lots of people love animals but very few would want 14 cats. It really doesn't seem fair to ask anyone to commit to a burden like that. Even if they say yes, they might just say it to get out of an uncomfortable request situation. Perhaps you could start trying to find no-kill animal shelters in your area instead.
