Kate's gift to her pet cause
Public Trust customer Kate recently updated her will and included a bequest to the SPCA.

The animal lover has been donating to the SPCA for decades.

“Anything I can do to help animals who suffer from the hands of people or unforeseen circumstances… I wanted to help,” explains Kate.
