Recommendations for pet insurance for cat age 11 with preexisting conditions?

Honestly, I think you may be looking for something that mostly does not exist in the pet insurance market. At age 11, with prior cancer and an active GI issue, most carriers are going to exclude those conditions, and AKC is one of the few names people bring up for pre-existing coverage but even that has age limits and long waiting-period rules. You still might be able to buy coverage for brand new issues going forward, but I would go into this assuming the sarcoma history and probably the digestive stuff stay excluded

Recommendations for pet insurance for cat age 11 with preexisting conditions?

Hi! I am looking for recommendations for pet insurance options for my cat. She is 11 and has some preexisting conditions that I would ideally like to be covered: she had a vaccine-site sarcoma that required hind leg amputation--no recurrence of the cancer so far but it's a possibility, and she has some digestive issues that we are trying to figure out, the vet thinks it is IBD but prescription food diet isn't really helping. I am trying to get her insurance, which I realize I should have done much earlier, and now I'm running into the issues that 1) most providers don't cover pre-existing conditions and 2) the one that does, AKC, does not offer illness insurance for pets over age 9. Does anyone have any good recommendations for insurance options in this case? Thank you very much in advance!!

Might cat might have pica and we need insurance

This would be a better question for r/petinsurancereviews AKC and a few other covers preexisting conditions, but some of them have 3-6 month waiting periods, some need to be symptom free for x amount of time. definitely read the fine print!

Might cat might have pica and we need insurance

So after doing some research, we might already be screwed. We took our cat Pedro, 3 year old male, to the vet maybe a year ago because he ate some fabric and didn't poop it out. Luckily, he was still able to go to the bathroom and was acting completely normal, so the vet just said to keep an eye on him. Since then, he's eaten multiple other fabrics and it's gotten to the point where we're considering surgery to remove whatever is inside him. We've pica-proofed the house as best we can, but he somehow always finds something. Since we're considering surgery now, we would need to get some insurance, but I worry that because we already had a related vet visit we won't be able to get any. I saw that AKC Pet Insurance covers pre-existing conditions, but if anyone has experience with them I'd love to hear that first. Any other advice would be great, I'd hate to have to watch him die because we were too broke.
