A PRACTICAL GUIDE FROM PETVENTORY
Budget for more than food
Litter, veterinary care, parasite prevention, insurance, enrichment, scratching furniture and carriers are all important considerations. Replacement costs are easy to forget.
Adjust for your household
Indoor and outdoor cats may have different practical needs. Estimate using current prices from your own suppliers and a veterinary practice, and include an emergency reserve.
Frequently asked question
Is the monthly figure fixed?
No. It is based on the categories and assumptions you enter, and costs vary with the cat and household.
General guidance only. Always check details that change over time, especially medical and travel requirements.
