This is going to make me sound awfully stingy and closedfisted and cold but... NO. No way. I'm a mom. I have kids. THAT'S where my money will always go. I don't have much and probably never will but they will always come before my pets or any other animals.
Now, if she's a single woman or not a mother, I can totally see why she would do that and it IS very sweet and inspirational. However, the term "crazy cat lady" couldn't help but enter my mind and make me giggle just a little. Not to make light of the wonderful thing she has done but simply as a lighthearted laugh.
