Begin Care Now, Pay Over Time
The Care Now Plan is designed for clients who want to begin care now and pay over time in a structured, transparent way.
Structured access to care
Some cats need care now, even when spreading the cost out over time would help. The Care Now Plan allows you to move forward with care immediately while following a clear payment schedule.
TANDEM Cat® Care Plan – Starter Card
A lower-entry option for cats needing care support now, with a simpler starting point for clients who want to spread payments over time.
TANDEM Cat® Care Plan – Total Reset
Designed for higher-need cats and more substantial care situations where beginning care promptly matters and a structured pay-over-time option helps.
How it works
- Choose the plan that best fits your cat’s care needs.
- Complete the short application and payment setup.
- Begin care now while following the payment schedule shown in your plan.
- You can review your schedule and make early payments at any time.
What the fee covers
The 10% Care Now Plan fee supports structured access to care, plan administration, and the ability to begin services before the full balance is paid.
Good fit for
- Clients who want to begin care now instead of delaying
- Higher-need or Total Reset-level cases
- Cats whose condition makes waiting harder
- Clients who prefer a direct internal payment option over third-party financing
