'I got tricked into adopting a sick cat': Person adopts 11-year-old cat which the rescue claimed to be healthy, gets attached to her, only to find out that the cat is sick and is going to be expensive to take care of, and now, they feel helpless

Here at ICHC, we always talk about how it's the cat that adopts the human and not the other way around. We talk about how you don't really get a choice in the matter very often. You walk into a shelter, thinking that you're going to adopt a kitten only to end up with a fluffy senior feline instead. You adopt a regular cat only to find out that she is pregnant and end up adopting her kittens as well. And like the person in this story, you think you're adopting a regular, healthy senior feline only for it to not turn out quite that way.

It's expensive to take care of a sick cat, we know, but we do it anyway, because they are ours, and we love them, and we are willing to do anything for them. But when it's a cat that you just adopted, when you weren't prepared for the responsibility, it could be hard. But it doesn't make it any less true - this cat has clearly adopted you, and that means that there is going to be a way to deal with anything that happens.

What a difficult situation. We are sorry to hear that you are going through this. And yet… we cannot say that we are sorry this kitty found its way to you. You sound like a good person, someone who cares, and we believe that whatever you do, you're going to do the right thing for this cat.
