For more than 120 years, Bideawee has been supporting pets and the people who love them. My husband, Tim, and I found solace in their services as we navigated life with our eleven beloved animal companions—a mix of two dogs and nine cats. Our commitment to their well-being, regardless of life’s twists and turns, led us to seek out a solution that would guarantee their care in our absence.

Frequent travels, particularly business trips or visits to Michaela’s family abroad, underscored the importance of planning for our pets’ future. The thought of leaving them behind in uncertain circumstances weighed heavily on us. Learning about Bideawee’s Loving Legacy program offered a sense of relief. We loved knowing we could create a personalized care plan for our beloved pets as part of our overall estate planning and wasted no time enrolling. We knew that Bideawee had been around for more than a century and trusted that our pets would be in wonderful hands.

Our admiration for Bideawee deepened over time, witnessing their unwavering dedication to animals in need and their advocacy for the human-animal bond. It was a natural decision for us to include Bideawee in our will, joining the esteemed Flora Kibbe Society, named after the organization’s visionary founder.

Our donation reflects our steadfast belief in Bideawee’s mission. We’re confident that our support will sustain the programs that support both pets and the people who love them, ensuring Bideawee’s enduring legacy of compassion for generations to come.

In sharing our journey, we hope to inspire others to recognize the profound impact of supporting organizations like Bideawee, enriching the lives of countless dogs and cats in need.
