Cost of FIV Cat?
Posted: Sat Jun 22, 2019 11:09 am
My partner and I went to visit cats at the local shelter today and fell absolutely in love with a gorgeous 10 year old with FIV and a wee heart murmur. Our only concern is the cost--we had planned to get pet insurance to offset any unexpected large bills, but insurance is obviously a complicated thing for an FIV+ cat. Particularly for those of you with older cats, do you find the cost to be significantly higher for FIV+ cats than for FIV-? Do you have any idea how much on average you spend per year on healthcare?
I'd really appreciate any advice you have! My partner is (probably rightly) being very practical about this, and I'm trying to figure out whether I'm a giant softie or whether this is something that will be financially feasible for us.
