Yup, and i have to say pet insurance has really improved in the last 10 year or so since we had our lest dog. I had it back then, and it was more akin to dental insurance.

Our new puppy arguably has better insurance than i do, and I have pretty good insurance.

Thank you! I'm definitely going to get pet insurance for her, I just wish I had gotten it sooner that way I wouldn't have to go through a waiting period for now

well that and now you potentially have pre-existing conditions. So be very cautious when you shop around.

I'm not going to name drop, but there are basically 3 carriers you want to look at. Which one is right for you depends on a bunch of things. Anyone outside the 3 are a scam, or, as i mentioned earlier, akin to dental insurance (will chop down the bill a bit for something minor here and there, but not save you from a big unexpected expense).

Edit: failed to mention nobody will cover the current situation, so don't look at it as a way out.

Also i'm not a cat person, my experience with it is with dogs, and i know the numbers for cats are very different.

Do you remember which local shelter you had called? I just called around 6 of them and they all said no to low cost medical work

Try giving Tabby’s Place a call they are a cat sanctuary. They don’t do care themselves for cats not in there care but they might be able to point you the direction of someone who could help.

I’m getting a cat at the end of next month. Can you tell me what insurance you have? How much does it cost monthly? Thanks!

I use healthy paws. I pay $57 total per month for three adult cats.
