Cat insurance in NYC?

Hi folks. Happy New Year! So I've never gotten pet insurance before but living in one of the most expensive cities in the world...I wonder if it would be wise to. What are your thoughts on this? And if you recommend it...anyone have insurance in NYC that they recommend?
Thanks so much everyone!

I think it is very cost effective if you only have 1 or maybe 2 pets. After that it gets pretty pricey. The only downside I have noticed from others about pet insurance, is you have to be reimbursed because the vet won't bill the provider.

The most cost effective insurance I have found is PetFirst Healthcare. Their plans start at $13.95/month for one cat without routince care coverage, and $21.95 with. They have generous multi-pet pricing and don't have the itemized allowances I've seen in other insurances.

If you want some references for good vets who don't charge a lot of $$$ i can give them to you. Which borough are you in?

I'm in Manhattan. I have a great vet but if something went wrong w/my dear kitty, I don't have extra thousands lying around to cover unlimited costs ya know?
Thanks for any/all advice!

with MOST insurence you still have to pay out of pocket and then wait for reimbursement

oh I would put it on my card or something to get him treated but it would be nice if insurance would then help out! Do most people on this forum have insurance?

I dont have kitty insurance! I should! When Glitch crossed the RB he took 2200 bucks with him!! He was well worth it though... Some diseases are very expensive!
