The concept of the Rapture, as described by the Apostle Paul, foretells a future event where believers will be caught up to meet Jesus in the air. While this event promises heavenly glory, it raises a pressing question for many: Who will take care of our beloved pets when we are no longer here? This concern is valid and deeply felt by pet owners who consider their animals cherished members of the family, entrusted to their care by God.
The Genesis of After the Rapture Pet Care
The inspiration for After the Rapture Pet Care stemmed from a lighthearted, yet thought-provoking, online joke. An atheist in England created a website offering to care for Christian-owned pets after the Rapture for a “donation.” While intended humorously, it sparked a crucial conversation between the author and her non-Christian friend, Karen. Karen posed the simple, yet profound, question: “If you get raptured, what happens to Petey?” This question, along with similar inquiries from fellow Christians, highlighted a significant unmet need. Many Christians expressed a strong desire for a tangible way to prepare for the well-being of their pets in the event of the Rapture.
Our Mission: Stewardship and Peace of Mind
As stewards of God’s creation, the idea of leaving our pets to fend for themselves—facing starvation or worse—is unacceptable. Drawing parallels to the pet rescue efforts in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, the founders envisioned a proactive system. Imagine the potential for saved lives if a database of pets and a network of dedicated volunteers were mobilized instantly. This vision formed the core of After the Rapture Pet Care: a service designed specifically for Christian pet owners.
Karen, leveraging her network of non-Christian animal lovers nationwide, began recruiting volunteers. The author’s role has been to establish a program that is not only Biblically aligned but also offers practical value and genuine peace of mind to Christian pet owners. The result is a plan that is affordable, unique, grounded in faith, and remarkably practical.
How Our System Works
We have developed a robust database structure, secured on multiple servers with comprehensive online and offline backups. While the founders may not be present, a dedicated network of non-Christians has committed to rescuing and caring for registered pets should the Rapture occur. This commitment extends beyond mere obligation; these volunteers genuinely love animals and have agreed to provide care as if the pets were their own, including financial responsibility.
To ensure the seriousness of our members and to cover essential administrative costs, we have settled on a one-time, ten-dollar registration fee. This nominal fee serves as a deterrent against fake sign-ups while remaining accessible to dedicated individuals. Once registered, there are no further charges. Your information is kept confidential and is never shared outside our organization, providing you with the ultimate peace of mind.
Here’s a breakdown of the process immediately following the Rapture:
- Activation: Our non-Christian administrators will initiate the rescue plan.
- Notification: Volunteers will be promptly alerted via email and telephone.
- Assignment: Pets will be matched with Volunteer Pet Caretakers based on proximity and pet type.
- Rescue Efforts: Administrators and caretakers will employ all available means to locate and rescue pets. This includes utilizing microchips, visiting registered locations, and coordinating with local pet shelters. If a direct caretaker cannot be reached, administrators will liaise with animal organizations like the Humane Society to advocate for the pet’s rescue and care.
- Ongoing Support: Administrators will maintain contact with Volunteer Pet Caretakers to ensure every registered pet receives the necessary rescue and care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the Volunteer Pet Caretakers and can they be trusted?
Our Volunteer Pet Caretakers are typically atheists or followers of non-Christian religions who possess a deep love for animals. They register with us despite not believing in the Rapture, or remaining agnostic about it. Crucially, they are unpaid volunteers, ensuring their motivation is genuine care, not financial gain. They have pledged to treat rescued pets as their own and bear the financial responsibility for their well-being. Matches are made based on location and the types of pets volunteers are willing to care for, with many offering to care for any domestic animal. They also agree to seek assistance from fellow volunteers if needed.
Can I directly contact the Volunteer Pet Caretakers in my area?
To protect their privacy and encourage continued participation, we guarantee the confidentiality of our Volunteer Pet Caretakers’ information. Direct contact is not permitted to prevent any potential pressure or unwanted contact from members.
Will the world be in chaos after the Rapture?
While the disappearance of Christians will undoubtedly cause significant confusion, the majority of the global population will remain. Maintaining communication will be a primary focus, facilitating the coordination of rescue efforts.
