Trevor wasn’t your average farm cat. Initially adopted as a birthday gift, he was expected to be a typical mouser. But from the moment Trevor set paw on the farm, it was clear he had other plans. His mother describes him as "larger than life,” a curious and affectionate cat who followed her everywhere.

Trevor’s big adventure began when he met Mooriel, a rescued calf. Though initially jealous of the attention Mooriel received, Trevor wasn’t scared. Over time, he formed a bond with the cows, even grazing alongside them. Now, he spends his days bossing them around, rubbing on them, and sometimes slapping them when he’s had enough.

His playful dominance doesn’t stop there. Trevor’s sassy interactions with the cows are a hit, despite his size. His mother often has to intervene to ensure the cows’ patience doesn't wear thin. But, in her eyes, Trevor’s bold behavior is all part of his charm, and she says he’s her reason for facing each new day.

Trevor may be tiny, but his heart and bravery inspire not just the animals on the farm, but his mom too.

Vet visits for your cat can range widely, depending on the type of care needed and your location. In 2026, expect to pay anywhere from $45 to $250 for a routine checkup or vaccinations, depending on the services and where you live.

For more involved treatments like dental care or surgeries, the costs can climb:

• Vaccinations: $15–$35 per shot

• Blood tests: $80–$200

• Dental cleaning: $150–$300

• Emergency exam: $100–$200

• Surgery: $800–$3,000+

The type of clinic and your location can also affect costs. Urban clinics tend to be more expensive than those in rural areas, and emergency or specialty care can add significantly to the price tag.

Preventative care, like regular wellness exams and vaccinations, can help avoid high costs later on. If you’re worried about high vet bills, consider looking into pet insurance or asking your vet about payment plans to help cover unexpected expenses.

According to a study, 80% of pets will have some sort of medical emergency in their lifetime. With costs continuing to climb, many cat owners are wondering how they can afford a surgery in case of an emergency.

Some cat owners have separate savings accounts ready to cover these extreme costs, but now there is an even better solution with the Nibbles Pet Rewards Credit Card.

The card comes with complimentary pet insurance for one eligible pet, so your kitty cat can be covered, and you get 3x rewards at the vet, at pet stores, and on pet services.

Save hundreds annually on premiums alone and potentially thousands in case of an emergency. All this with the no annual fee Nibbles Credit Card.

Nibbles is not a bank. The Nibbles card is issued by Lead Bank. Fees and T&C apply. Eligibility rules apply.
