Steps to Making Planned Gifts:

  • 1 Establish -- Contact your attorney and your financial advisor and tell them you’d like to arrange for a planned gift to The Hermitage No-Kill Cat Shelter. Your attorney or financial advisor can then assist you in determining what type of gift best suits your personal and financial circumstances.
  • 2 Discuss -- Talk to your family and friends about your plans and personal wishes in addressing family needs, as well as your legacy gifts.
  • 3 Notify -- Notify The Hermitage of your plans, so we can appreciate your generosity. Please also let us know if you would NOT like to be recognized publically.
