10 Month Old Kitten Diagnosed with Level 2 Heart Murmur

Hello All,

Went in today for a physical because I was concerned my cat had a UTI but in reality he is just very high maintenance. Nevertheless, the vet detected a heart murmur and referred me to the local vet hospital which didn't have availability until December for a cardiology appointment. Called around and managed to secure an appointment with one in July about 3 hours away. Regardless, I am freaking out a bit as I love the little guy and have never had to deal with this before. Could someone give me a rundown of what to expect/what their experiences were?

Note: After this I 100% recommend pet insurance because he looks perfectly healthy in every other aspect. I know some people have strong viewpoints against it and say you will probably lose money in the long run, which is true, but the comforting feeling of knowing this entire ordeal will cost me, at most, $500 is amazing. I'm not sure what I would have done in regards to postponing it if it ended up costing 3K+ right away and I am happy I never have to make that decision.
