Minimum Required Endowment
The minimum endowment to secure enrollment in the Stevenson Companion Animal Life-Care Center depends upon the age of the youngest owner at the time of enrollment. The endowment required for each animal can be established by bequest through a will or trust or can be fully paid up at the time of enrollment with a considerable discount. There is no enrollment fee required with a Paid-up Endowment. Both options are outlined below.
