Bequests

Making a charitable bequest in your will to Regina Cat Rescue is a wonderful and positive way to leave a legacy that will improve the lives of abandoned cats and kittens on Regina's streets.

Charitable will bequests allow you to make a significant charitable gift that may not always be possible to make during your lifetime. There are many benefits of creating a charitable will bequest, including:

  • Reduced Taxes for Your Estate – A charitable gift is an effective way to reduce taxes for your estate. RCR will issue an official tax receipt for the full value of the will bequest when it is received. This receipt can then be used to reduce the tax payable on your final return.

  • Flexible and Revocable – A charitable gift may be made for any amount, no matter how old you are. As well, a will bequest gift is revocable at any time, should your financial situation change.

  • Help Abandoned Cats and Kittens in Regina – Your charitable bequest will make a lasting difference to abandoned cats and kittens on our streets.

  • Leave a Lasting Legacy – Your charitable gift will be a lasting legacy for you, your family or anyone you wish to honour.

A will bequest can be as simple as a sentence or two naming Regina Cat Rescue in your will or adding a codicil to your existing will.

There are different kinds of bequests and for each, you must use very specific language to indicate the precise direction of your assets, and to successfully carry out your final wishes. Please see your professional adviser (financial analyst, lawyer, or planned giving officer) to make arrangements for your bequest to Regina Cat Rescue.
