I get people feel differently about animals, but I honestly could never pay that

amount for an animal. I would feel guilty. Guilty that there are hungry children that I could help with the money. Guilty that I could help my kids with college or so many other things they need.

So what is rectify? Taking money away from a shelter or not burdening them expenses they can't afford so they can help other animals?

A struggling animal shelter seems like the wrong entity to sue.

But what if you're told by the seller something untrue about it?

Not my area of law, but you’d probably have to prove fraud or negligence.

I guess you could also claim negligence if they breached some standard of

The even bigger worry is that your other cat is going to get it now too.

Exactly.

Don’t do it. But definitely let them know of the illness so they can treat

Have that cat put to sleep and move on. It’s the ethical thing to do.
