Now, I realize that is cheap, but that's my point. Are you saying that
I should never have had Maynard simply because I would have to borrow
to scrape $500 together for an emergency surgery? I'd do it. I;d eat
top ramen for a month if it meant taking good care of my cat. But the
idea that I must find every vet bill to be *easy* to cover, on the
spot, without a care in the world, is absurd.

Precisely was I was saying. The OP has a sick cat, most people including
you and I would do anything you have to do to get that cat appropriate
care - even if that means going without yourself. She is obviously not
prepared to do that and take her cat to the vets and get proper care like
any normal caring person would - even those that can't afford to. Humane
societies and charities always help if there is real hardship. Instead she
would rather post on here................................better off if the
cat lived with someone who would take care of it, regardless of what it
takes
