“Jack” the cat was more than a pet to Tammy; he was her rock and emotional lifeline, beside her in times of trouble when life was too much to carry alone. Long before Jack died, Tammy had already decided to “clone” him, despite the high cost of the procedure. Pet owners like Tammy are now fueling a growing market of cloning that is projected to grow by 9.1 percent annually through 2030.

The New York-based program Pet Food Stamps has attracted some contempt, but the ASPCA wants to keep uplifting support for pets in financially distressed homes.
