I have an old cat that is very sickly but not near death. Should I have her put to sleep just to be rid of the expense of having an old sick cat?

If it is financially overwhelming for you to take care of the cat, then it may be best to consider options such as veterinary hospice care or to have the cat euthanized to relieve you of the financial burden. Ultimately, only you can make the decision regarding how to care for your pet.
