Your best bet is to self insure - like basically put $40 a month (or more) into a savings account. There are tons of exclusions and limits on the policies that make them almost worthless.
Don’t feel bad about asking pricing on treatment (our cat once had a $600 IV when we could have just wrestled him and given him pedialye with a dropper...) and try to save to where you’re ready for at least one whopper of a bill down the line if something goes wrong.

The policies are just a long list of exclusions

Our kitten is 3months old. We still have a few vaccinations left for 1st year but the rescue had already taken care of spaying and essential shots prior to our adoption. 20 years ago, we had a cat for 14 years and we never got insurance for her. She died of some medical complication at 14.
Now I'm a mom and more aware of how medical bills might wreck havoc on finances, now wondering if it's worth spending for coverage. One option included a $250 deductible, $34/mo and includes wellness exams, vaccinations, blood work, cancer, accidents, illness etc. Is that about right? Is that high, low, or what are other good alternatives?
