If you limited pet ownership to people who can afford catastrophic health
care for their pet, then you'd have an awful lot of homeless dogs and
cats,
don't you think?


So what is the answer? That it is okay to deny your animal that you
allegedly love the care they need just because you need the money
for something else? Isn't that what you are after here? Some
rationalization that will allow you to neglect the animal?

No, just an answer to the question.
