How much money do you think should be spent on keeping a pet healthy and alive considering…?

This is a question regarding ethics and morals. That is why I did not post this in the pet section. Nor is this a financial question.

In a world where many people don’t have enough money to afford adequate health care or even needed operations, can I justify spending money to keep my cat alive and healthy? If you say yes, is there a point monetarily where you can no longer justify the expense?

I love my cat. He is a good and faithful friend. However, these days, vet bills are considerable. Non-pet people may not realize this but gone are the days where spending $60 to $100 a year on a pet was a lot of money. That’s the cost of one vet appointment. These days veterinary medicine has progressed to the point where they can do chemotherapy on a pet. It’s expensive. But expense is not the question. I can justify spending a certain amount on my pet. But I wonder if it’s ethically or morally “right” to “heal” my cat (no matter the cost) when humans go without needed medical attention
Please – this is not a “money” question. This is not “me” trying to justify not spending money on a pet. I did spend over $5000 on my previous cat in her last three months of life. Like Ladeebug71, I kept the cat alive longer than I should have. Those of you who are addressing the “spend money on a pet versus spend money on people” are the ones answering my question. I agree with the “animals have a right to live also” people. And I agree with those who point out I probably wouldn’t donate the money to people anyway. I was trying to see if people thought as I did and I was hoping to get some opposing view points that would give me new thoughts to consider. I’m leaving the question open for a while longer but I want to thank you all who have already answered the question.
