The best time to protect your cat is now.

We know it sounds cliché, but there’s no better time than the present to protect your kitten for life and ensure new illnesses and injuries are covered (learn about pre-existing conditions).

 

What is kitten insurance?

With all of the responsibilities that come with bringing a kitten into your family, the last thing you should have to worry about is unexpected veterinary costs. You can’t predict when your kitten will experience a surprise illness or injury, but what you can do is protect both your pet and your budget with cat insurance. And by enrolling your pet when they’re still a kitten, you can set both of you up for a lifetime free from worry.

With the protection of Trupanion, you get to enjoy unlimited payouts and never have to stress about us suddenly cutting of off care or raising rates just because your cat develops a chronic condition or otherwise needs frequent care. We cover eligible costs for all new injuries and illnesses, including surgeries, hospital stays, emergency care, and other unexpected vet costs faced by pet parents every day.

And for when you need to ask questions or navigate an emergency, we’re available 24/7, 365 days a year. After all, we all know that our pets don’t wait to get sick or hurt only during business hours.

 

When's the best time to get kitten insurance?

The best time to get insurance is while your cat is still a kitten. Signing up now enables you to get the best value out of your coverage:


  • More conditions covered - The younger the cat, the less likely they are to have pre-existing conditions. This means your pet will have more conditions that can be covered throughout their lifetime.
  • Lowest cost - With Trupanion, we base your monthly cost for life on your pet’s age when they enrolled. So, if you sign up when your pet is a kitten, they’ll be priced as a kitten throughout their nine lives.

 

How much does kitten insurance cost?

The cost of kitten insurance differs from pet to pet. This is because we want our members to be comfortable with their monthly cost for kitten and cat coverage, so we put the power in your hands. With our flexible pricing options, you can find a monthly cost that works for your budget. After all, it’s easier to budget for a regular, recurring monthly than a large, unexpected veterinary bill.

 

Do I need kitten insurance?

While we’re obviously a little biased... we truly believe that pet insurance is something every cat parent should have. To put it simply, we’re pet owners just like you, and we more than understand how stressful it is when your furry family member is sick or hurt. Kitten insurance can remove the stress of wondering if or how you’re going to pay for their care, and it helps sets up your pet for a lifetime of great veterinary treatment.

Think of Trupanion like a bottomless bank account for those large (and small), unexpected vet bills — you get peace of mind knowing your pet can get the care they need.
