I just recently discovered this new site and wanted to share it with everyone, http://www.petwave.com/. What do you all think about it?
I thought of adopting a pet for someone as a gift, but I’m reluctant. What do you think?

Someone close to me keeps stating they want a cat or dog, so I thought of buying one as a present. Is that appropriate? Would it be best to take the person with me? Or maybe just buy something else as a present. People change their minds, and I’d hate to buy this pet and the person not take care of it.
How can I make people think twice before buying or adopting a pet?

Dogs & cats can live 10-20 years. Parrots, & turtles can live to 80. Are You willing to make that much of a commitment?
I have done pet recuses my entire life. These were pets who were abandoned, abused or worse. Would you like to see pics?
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.
