Melanie Turner is pictured with her adopted senior cat, Todd, at her home in Toronto on July 13, 2025. When Ms. Turner adopted Todd from the animal shelter, she was expecting significant vet bills. Todd is somewhere between the ages of 12 and 19, and she knew he’d probably need dental care, special food for his kidney issues and medication for his arthritis – all of which she was planning to pay for out of pocket.

She plans to chip away at the credit card debt while cutting back in areas like entertainment and food to save extra money. (Laura Proctor/The Globe and Mail)
