kitten insurance

Accidents or illnesses can happen to any cat at any life stage, but the best time to think about insurance for your new feline friend is when they are a kitten or young adult. Kittens need significant care while they grow. They’re more susceptible to some illnesses than adult cats because their immune systems are still developing, and since they have such an abundance of energy, they get into all kinds of trouble. This can mean multiple trips to the vet, often at a high cost. Pet insurance for your kitten reimburses you for covered veterinary expenses of accidents and illnesses so that you can focus on the care with less worry about the cost.

If you enroll your kitten in Complete Coverage^SM, you can use your pet insurance to help manage eligible veterinary costs if they get hurt or sick. This plan also covers hereditary conditions, such as kidney or heart disease, and alternative therapies for covered conditions, like hydrotherapy, acupuncture, and stem cell treatments. Plus, it includes coverage for behavioral issues like destructive scratching, urination outside the litter box, and excessive vocalizing. Only looking for a little financial cushion for accidents? You can choose our Accident-Only plan if you just want to cover your kitten for injuries.

Yes! Kittens typically need multiple vet visits in their first year. Not only do they need more vet visits and routine services to be set up for a healthier, happier life, they’re also extremely curious, and energetic which can lead to more unexpected accidents or injuries.

Additionally, the cost to insure a kitten would typically be lower than if you wanted to insure an adult cat. This is because older pets tend to be at a higher risk for developing several health conditions, so it’s worth it to enroll your kitten in pet insurance before they potentially develop a pre-existing condition.

The cost of enrolling your kitten in a coverage plan is determined by several factors - age, breed, and zip code, as well as how you choose to customize your plan. You have the power to select your own annual limit, deductible, and reimbursement percentage, all of which play into your monthly premium.

Preventive care coverage, our optional wellness add-on, covers routine wellness care that kittens need to stay healthy year-round, including essential vaccinations like Rabies, Bordetella, FeLV, and FVRCP vaccines. It also covers other important routine services such as spaying/neutering, deworming, dental cleanings, and annual exams. Routine care and annual exams can be especially important for cats, since they tend to hide or mask their symptoms when they’re sick or injured.
