Pets Adoptions Top Ten Richest Pets

The number of pets with million dollar trusts and bequests continues to grow. Many of these pets have more money than any one human can spend in a lifetime. From roaming enormous estates and traveling by limousine to twelve member staffs, these pets are living the glamorous life.












Number One is Gunther IV, an alsation worth around £224 million! In 1993, this dog made headlines after he and his sire Gunther III were bequest $124 million when their owner, Countess Karlotta Liebenstein died. It has been recently reported that Gunther's massive estate has grown to over $372 million.
The trend in recent years is to make a pet an heir or sole heir to an entire estate worth millions of dollars. This has resulted in numerous pets being left with more money than twenty people could spend in a lifetime, let alone a dog. Proponents argue that the pets have earned their stake in the estate through years of devotion and loyalty to their rich masters. Additionally, it's the owners wishes that runs paramount.






Jasper is an incredibly wealthy pet. He is a doberman labrador mix that was rescued by Ramsden Brewery heiress Diana Myburgh from UK's most famous dog home. Incredibly, Jasper was to be euthanized shortly after being rescued and the heiress died just after Jasper had become accustomed to his surroundings leaving the pooch a multi-million dollar fortune.
Besides the 1,236 acre estate, chauffered stretch limousine and expensive jewelry, Jasper eats highest grade mussels, sirloin steak and Dover sole all prepared from his personal chef.
Dr William Grier left £415,000 to his cats Hellcat and Brownie.
Thanks to careful investment, their children are minted moggies, worth £2 million each.

Pets Adoptions International

The Pets Adoptions International’s primary goal is to provide financial support and a referral source to access expertise pet shelters throughout the world with a special focus on developing countries.

Here at Pets Adoptions International we provide an information portal which enables pet lovers to find shelters for distressed pets with the highest standards of care and assistance to animals under their protection.
Pets Adoptions International, which has long been a dream of ours, is intended to benefit needy pet shelters and rescue centres throughout the world with a special focus on developing countries.

We have found that this countries are in most need of assistance with helping to protect and find new homes for needy pets.

Our experience in the adoption of pets of every kind and background has taught us that most animals can make excellent companions, and all that many of them need is the proper care and a second chance. Too often it is the owner who has given up on a pet, or mistreated it in some way that has made it inhospitable.

The centres that we work with are very committed to rehabilitate abandoned pets and find them good homes rather than exterminate them, a resort we think is never acceptable. Some of these shelters are woefully underfunded, though their hearts are in the right place.

We hope to provide assistance to the best of them whenever and wherever we can, so that these great animals will continue to make great companions.

You can make a difference, please support us in our work

Pray of the Stray


The prayer of a stray
Dear God, please send me somebody who'll care!I'm tired of running, I'm sick with despair,My body is aching, it's so racked with pain,And dear God I pray as I run in the rain

That someone will love me and give me a home,A warm cosy bed I can call my own.My last owner neglected me and chased me awayTo rummage in garbage and live as a stray

But now, God, I'm tired and hungry and coldAnd I'm so afraid that I might never grow oldThey've chased me with sticks and hit me with stonesWhile I run in the streets just looking for bones!I'm not really bad, God, please help if you can

For I have just become another "Victim of Man"I'm wormy, Dear God, and I'm ridden with fleasAnd all that I want is an owner to pleaseIf you find one for me, God, I'll try to be goodI won't run away and I'll do as I shouldI don't think I'll make it too long on my own'Cause I'm getting so weak and I'm so all aloneEach night as I sleep in the bushes I cry'Cause I'm so afraid, God, that I'm going to die

And I've got so much love and devotion to giveThat I should be given a new chance to liveSo dear God, please, please answer my prayerAnd send me somebody who will really care.

Cat Care

Cats were domesticated some 6,000 years after dogs, yet today there are nearly as many pet
cats in the world as pet dogs. In many countries they were considered sacred and worshipped.
Although generally considered more independent than dogs, cats still need care and attention.

How To Care For Your Cat

Where Your Cat Lives
● A cat that lives outside needs a shelter to give protection from the heat or cold weather.
● Your cat should be provided with a bed of its own such as an old box with a
blanket.
Food & Water
● A cat needs a varied and nutritional diet and will not thrive on scraps. Cats require a greater
proportion of meat than dogs and need a higher level of protein and fat in their food.
● There are many types of cat food available which provide a wellbalanced
diet, including tinned or dried food.
● Your cat should be provided fresh drinking water at all
times, especially if you choose to feed dried products.
● Feed adult cats twice a day; kittens, elderly cats and
pregnant cats will need several smaller meals daily.
● Cats do not have to be hungry to hunt, it is something
they do naturally.
Human Company
● A cat is less demanding than a dog, for example
they do not need to be taken for a walk.
● A kindly word and stroking your cat will show him that you care.
Health
● A free ranging cat or a cat kept in dirty conditions can become
infested with worms, ticks, fleas or lice.
● Sleeping and living areas should be kept clean.
● Healthy cats have glossy coats and clear eyes.
● Ears and noses should be free
from discharge, dirt and infection.
● Teeth should be strong, white
and not discoloured. If infected
gums are left untreated, teeth
may fall out which will result in
eating problems.
● Ask your vet for advice.
Vaccinations
● Cats are vulnerable to many diseases which can be dangerous
and costly to treat.
● Vaccination helps prevent illness and reduces the risk of
infection to other cats.
Grooming
● All cats, long or short
haired, benefit from regular
grooming, and it provides an
opportunity to check for parasites.
● Long-haired cats need special attention to keep their coats
free of tangles.
● Grooming helps to get your cat used to being handled.
Breeding
● Every year hundreds of thousands of cats are destroyed because there are not enough suitable homes available for them.
● Female cats can produce many kittens every year. In six years a pair of cats and their offspring
can produce 420,000 cats.
● By constantly producing and rearing kittens, the health of a female cat can suffer.
● Pregnant and lactating female cats need extra food.
● Kittens generally suckle from their mothers for about
three weeks, gradually starting to eat additional food.
● Female cats are naturally protective of their young
and so a quiet place should be provided for them.
● To prevent unwanted kittens have your cat
spayed / neutered – an operation performed
by a vet
Spaying / Neutering
● Modern veterinary equipment and drugs, make surgery safe,
painless and recovery quick.
● Ask your vet when to have your cat spayed / neutered.
● Your cat does not need to have a litter before she is spayed.
● Early age neutering from eight weeks of age is now accepted
as a positive action.
● Once a female cat has been neutered she will never come
into season again and unwanted male cats will keep away.
● Spaying females can reduce the risk of mammary tumours.
● Unneutered male cats have a habit of spraying an unpleasant
smelling scent to mark their territory, which attracts females.
Neutering reduces this behaviour.
● Neutering also reduces rival fighting amongst cats.
● Neutered cats are likely to be more loyal and affectionate
and their ability to hunt is not affected.
● In stray and feral cats, ear tipping, cutting off the tip of the
left ear whilst the cat is still anaesthetised, is the universal way
of identifying cats which have been spayed / neutered.
