An elderly woman, who claims her children never visited her during her illness and old age, has decided to leave her $2.8 million fortune to her cats and dogs, according to a report.

The woman from Shanghai, known only by her surname Liu, has excluded her three children from her will and plans to allocate around 20 million yuan ($2.8 million) to her pets, as they have been her only source of comfort in her later years, as reported by The South China Morning Post, citing Zonglan News.

Ms. Liu had originally made a will some years ago, leaving money and property to her three children, but she changed her mind because they did not visit or take care of her—and rarely contacted her—according to the report.

In her revised will, she insists that all of her wealth must go toward caring for her pets and any future offspring, with a local veterinary clinic appointed to manage her estate and ensure the animals are well cared for.

“However, there are alternatives to solve this issue,” said Chen Kai.

“Liu’s current will is one way and we would have advised her to appoint a person she trusts to supervise the vet clinic to ensure the pets are properly cared for.”
