Yeah, I guess there could be a class action lawsuit.
I can see the “It was MY money and my pet needs food NOW!” ads already.

September’s thread on the Eternal Earth-Bound Pets: Atheists offer to care for Christians' pets after the Rapture - Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share - Straight Dope Message Board
do asses get left behind too…? 
Yep.
The SDMB should continue quite well I would think 
Jesus said something about that…or was it a camel?
What about if they promise to convert immediately after the rapture? I might. Especially if there’s money in it beforehand.
Jack & Rexella Van Impe differ with the basic premise. They believe that Christians’ pets DO get Raptured.
Why are they ascribing my religious views to my cat? My cat is Saved. He told me so.
How do intestinal fauna fare? Do they tag along or fall on the ground in a clump?
I’ll tell you one thing…
If the rapture happens, no mattter how it works out, there certainly WILL be a clump of MY intestinal fauna sitting outside somewhere.
This is a great opportunity for Jews.
These so called atheists, of which there are none in foxholes, merely must decide they love Jesus after all at the last moment, and they are gone.
We ain’t going, no where, no way.
And I have garden pools to take care of fish. 
Is he selling franchises?
How did you manage to get him to shut up about it? Could come in handy with door-to-door proselytizers…
My cats don’t need to be Saved. They are gods already, in their minds at least.
He won’t. He’s constantly singing hymns and trying to get me to read psalms and such. The nice thing is when the door-to-door prosletyzers come around I just leave him with them and by the time I’m back with refreshments they’ve agreed to love the sinner, not the sin.
I’d have to ask one of the priests. Do you have any holy water? Maybe if you put it in his water bowl…or ask for some blessed, but unconsecrated Communion wafer (they make this, trust me) and you can give that to him as a treat. It might work.
Let me know how it goes. We have a cat named Luci. Her nickname is “Lucifer.” I think you can figure it out…
ETA: but um, don’t blame me if Fido’s head starts spinning around all the way. I’m not an expert at this. 
For the low low price of $99.95 I’ll come and live in your house and eat your food and watch your tv while I take care of you. Payment must be upfront and I will not be moving in until the Rapture.
Sounds good. Do you cook and clean? I figure as an attorney I’m going to be automatically re-assigned as some sort of underling to a 3rd tier demon. Fairly certain that some household assistance will be necessary as I run after Under-Secretary Hornswaggle saying “Yes sir, right away sir, I’ll be divesting those non-saved orphans of their inheritances promptly Sir!”
I had no idea you fellows were so realistic. 
Because you have integrity?
