Nancy Sauer, a woman from Florida who passed away in November, made a single decision in her will. She chose to leave her estate to her seven Persian cats, ensuring that each would receive an inheritance.
This act of leaving money for a pet is not unprecedented. Back in 2019, famous designer Karl Lagerfeld left a significant portion of his inheritance to his beloved cat, Choupette.
Nancy Sauer’s will states that her cats will stay on her estate until the last one dies. However, a recent decision by a Hillsborough County probate judge determined that the cats should be placed in new homes, despite regulations. Sherry Silk, executive director of the Tampa Bay Humane Society, explains that cats should not be left alone in such a large house. Although the cats were previously checked several times a day, they have been in the care of the humane society for the past month.
Silk expressed a commitment to raising as many cats as possible and finding them the perfect homes. The cats will be available for adoption starting this weekend. The exact amount of each cat’s inheritance is currently being determined by an attorney, but Silk assures that it will be large and sufficient to cover their lifelong needs.
These Persian cats are only five years old and need special care and attention. Silk emphasizes that Persians can be expensive and have specific needs. The cats lived alone in the home for six months before the probate judge ruled that they should be moved to a place where they could be better cared for.
According to her friend Yana Alban, in addition to her love for cats, Nancy Sauer is also a proud businesswoman and is known for her unique hobby as well as a taste for shopping.
In a similar case in 2007, Leona Helmsley, a New York real estate baroness, left a $12 million trust fund for her dog in her will. However, this amount was later reduced to $2 million.
