I have 2 new kittens, Monte and July :) Looking for advice on pet insurance

[Maru Kitteh]

Are there any pet insurance companies that you don't have to pay everything up front and then haggle with them for reimbursement later?

I'm concerned because if one of them has an accident and needs help right away that would include surgery or something like that. I don't want cash on hand to become the difference between life and death.




Left is Monte (really big for 5 months) and July is 3 months. This was taken just hours after they met for the first time

1. Monte's profile and coloring make him look just like a lion cub!!

2. Oh my gosh the PAWS on that one. He's not destined to be a teacup kitty. Matter of fact,

he's way past that now - more like about 5 quart.

3. They are gorgeous. Congrats!

And two is better than one, believe me. They will always have one of their own kind around for comfort.

Not sure about the insurance. I think it's kind of like people insurance in that it may not cover anything preexisting. I do recommend, though. I have a co-worker who also got two littermates and, unfortunately, one started having seizures. The sick kitteh needed MRIs and specialty care. The insurance save my coworker, literally thousands of dollars.

5. They were instantly, hopelessly devoted to each other and they are SO SWEET

They've already given me more than I could hope to give them, but I will always try.

6. Oh, my heavens, how adorable!

They are just precious.

I wish I knew the answer to your insurance question, but I have no idea. If anyone has an answer, I'll be interested to hear it myself.

7. Shaz I think they are the moon and earth. On the insurance I think I'm

going to call my veterinarian and ask them what they recommend. I’ll update everyone when I hear something more.

8. Best buds and so cute!

Try Fetch, which was suggested to me on Reddit. Seems fair and reasonable compared to other pet insurances. There is a vet checkup and a two week waiting period before anything major.
