Leave something valuable behind

You are thinking about the future. About what remains when you are no longer here. We understand this is not an easy topic. But it is an important one. And we are happy to help you with it.

We are here for you

Leaving a legacy to a good cause is not just something you do for us. It is also something we can do for you.

  • How do I actually arrange this?
  • What happens with my gift?
  • Can I trust that it will be well spent?

We take time for you. No rush, no pressure. Just a good conversation about your wishes and how we can help.

We are happy to visit you at home for a personal conversation. Or you are welcome to visit us — whatever you prefer.

Feel free to request our information leaflet. You decide if and when you want to take the next step.

What are you thinking about?

Concerns about your legacy

You want to know that your money is well spent. We are happy to show you what we do: the cats we help, the stories, the numbers.

Concerns about your pet

Do you have a cat that will outlive you? We can arrange for your cat to come to us and find a good new home.

No heirs

With a legacy to SAZ, you give your belongings a meaningful purpose: caring for cats that have no one else.

Different ways to leave a legacy

Through a notary

The most common way. Your notary can include SAZ in your will as an heir or legatee.

Arrange it yourself via nutestament.nl

Prefer to do it yourself, at your own pace? Via nutestament.nl you can create a will online for a fixed, low fee.

SAZ does not have to pay inheritance tax. 100% of your legacy goes to the cats.

What your legacy means

Every legacy makes a difference, large or small. An impression of what is possible:

€2,500

Complete medical care for 10 stray cats — from intake to rehoming

€5,000

Six months of food, housing and veterinary care for all cats in our shelter

€15,000

An entire kitten season — rescuing, caring, socialising and rehoming

€50,000

Worried about your own cat?

You love your cat. And you want it to be well taken care of, even when you are no longer here.

We can arrange this for you. In your will, you can specify that your cat will come to SAZ after your passing.

Do you have specific wishes for the care of your cat? Discuss them with us. We do our best to respect your wishes.
