    A friend of mine has a cat that was diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure.  This disease is terrible and can eventually kill a cat.  There are treatment options, but they all mainly help to manage the cat's remaining years, and do not cure or undo the damage caused by the disease.

    There is however a new operation where the cat's can receive healthy new kidneys through a transplant procedure.  They say its about 80% effective, meaning the cat is all better, but its costs $5,000.00.

    How much would people be willing to pay to save their cats life?

    It is a cat.   Not a family member as many cat owners think.  If your friend has unlimited money, she can spend spend spend.   A new cat can be free or approx $100.   She can love the new cat just as much.

    Nothing like spending $5000 just to have the can suffer and probably die.

    Common sense is needed here.

    I agree. I love my pets, but could never spend that much.
