[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having an adult child with mental illness I’d make my decision based on how I expected it to affect his mental health. If not doing it would destabilize him I’d do it. It costs me way more in time and money to deal with crises. If it wouldn’t matter one way or another I wouldn’t do it.

If I did it, I’d be clear about my future contributions. [/quote]

This is the OP. I really appreciate your perspective. I do think it may destabilize her. I am also the only family she has. Our parents are gone and there are no other siblings. My issue is that I don't think this is a $700 problem. Something is wrong with the cat, which will cost more money to fix, and there are two other cats in the pipeline. I can't take money from my kids and my retirement to spend on the cats.

I am also concerned that if the vet puts the cat on a treatment plan, she may not have the capacity to comply.[/quote]

I’m sure you’re right - that it’s not a $700 problem. That’s why I be clear about my limits. This is different because it’s your sister and not your kid. But i feel like I’d do the diagnostics in this case. You’re not wrong not to though. It’s a lot of money. [/quote]
