My new kitten was recently ill. Only a week after we adopted him, he had to be hospitalized for four nights. The bill came to 2000 dollars and all my friends thought I was crazy for spending so much and kept telling me to get pet insurance. Does anyone here know about pet insurance? Which ones are good? In my vets office there was a brochure for: www.petinsurance.com, but I wanted to shop around before commiting.
Also, on many pet insurance sites it says that the insurance will not treat pre-exsisting conditions. Both my adopted kitties had upper respritory infections. From what I read, these viruses are lifelong, and symptoms appear in times of stress. Will insurance not cover any future kitty colds or symptoms associated with URIs since they both had them before getting the insurance?
Any advice is MUCH appreciated. I'm 25 and living in New York City where the cost of living is already up there. I don't want to completely go into debt
