In Guangdong Province, southern China, an 82-year-old man, identified as Long, is looking for a dedicated person who can take care of his cat for the rest of its life.

The news was reported by the South China Morning Post, which highlighted that the man lost his wife more than a decade ago and never had children, something that has recently caused him great concern.

According to the statements, the citizen believes that due to his advanced age, his time left in this world is limited, and since he doesn't have anyone's support, he has no problem leaving his properties and savings in the hands of someone who loves his pet.

With that in mind, Long recently announced that he is willing to bequeath his entire fortune to whoever truly decides to take charge of his pet's well-being when he is gone.

Accordingly, the man noted that his priority right now is to provide as much stability as he can to Xianba, one of the cats he adopted after his wife died and he was left completely alone.

While Long's decision has been made, he still needs to specify the conditions to prevent anyone from accepting the agreement and simply spending the money, or worse, abandoning the animal.

For now, the man's only clear idea is that the cat sitter must demonstrate a love of cats before committing to the offer . However, the aforementioned outlet emphasized that if no one applies, it's because his demands can be overwhelming for some.

According to the South China Morning Post, those who have expressed interest in the citizen's proposal fear that when he dies, a relative will claim the assets or initiate legal proceedings.

Others, meanwhile, argue that it's quite possible that the candidate who takes on the responsibility will do so solely for the money and not to fulfill Long's request regarding the feline's care.

Despite the various comments and warnings the man has received, he indicated that the search has become a complicated task , since there is no one he trusts enough to delegate that responsibility to.
