Cat illnesses and injuries can cost more than you think

We’ve paid over $2 billion in veterinary invoices, and we’ve learned some things along the way. About 45% of kittens will need veterinary care before their 1st birthday, and the costs for cat health in general can be tough to predict.

  • $10,161 - the highest payout for a single kitten
  • $1 million in cat allergies covered since 2018 alone
  • 89,200 veterinary invoices paid for cats in 2022

No more claims. We pay first. Vet Direct Pay

Frequently asked questions

If your cat needs unexpected veterinary care, it can quickly become very expensive. A good cat insurance policy helps cover the costs and enables you to get the best treatment for your pet.

In the traditional cat insurance model, you pay the upfront costs of care on the day of treatment and make a claim. Then you have to wait for reimbursement, which can take days and weeks. With Trupanion, we can pay veterinarians directly on the day of treatment, with 80% of payments made within 5 minutes. This means less waiting and less financial worry for you, allowing you to spend more time focused on your pet’s health and recovery.

From indoor to outdoor and purebreds to mixed breeds, every cat is different. This means pricing varies from pet to pet.

Our cat insurance prices are based primarily on these factors:
  • Age
  • Breed
  • Location
  • Gender

Absolutely! Even though they aren’t spending their days wandering outside among dangers, indoor cats are still at risk for a wide range of illnesses and injuries.

No, and that’s because vaccinations are considered a part of routine / preventive care. By not covering the regular, expected portions of your cat’s healthcare that you can budget for, we are able to provide the best-value cat insurance coverage for everything you can’t predict.

Generally speaking, the earlier you get cat insurance for your pet, the better. This is because kittens are at high risk of surprise illnesses as their immune systems are still developing. Additionally, like almost all pet insurance providers, we do not cover pre-existing conditions. So, the earlier you insure your cat, the more illnesses and injuries will be covered throughout their lifetime.
