What I wouldn't do for my cat
After shelling out $1,300 on a vet bill, I had to wonder: How much is too much to pay for your pet?
By Ada Calhoun [2008-02-08]

  • Okay.

    So, the author's vet will fix the cat if she can't afford to pay the bill or just won't. And then the vet will give the cat to someone else.

    Now, imagine that the same cat is returned to the vet a month later needing $5,000 worth of medical intervention and those second owners can't or won't foot that bill.

    Will the vet? Again? And will that vet find yet another owner?

    And then what if those third owners return the cat to the vet needing $10,000 worth or surgery and are unable to foot that bill.

    I promise you that that cat is going down.
