What Does Cat Insurance Cover?

Cat insurance covers the following circumstances:

Vet Treatment: One of the main things that cat insurance can cover you for is vet treatment fees, so you can claim back the cost of any vet bills you have been charged for.

Cat insurance policies typically cover:

  • Illness.
  • Accidental injury.
  • Physiotherapy (only if referred by a vet).

With certain policies offering up to £12,000 a year worth of cover, you’re usually advised to get as much cover as you can.

Death of Pet: Many cat insurance policies will provide cover if your pet needs to be put to sleep by a vet due to an accident or illness.

Try to find a policy that provides either the current market value or the purchase price of your cat.

Lost and Found Cover: It is possible to get cat insurance that will pay you the purchase price of your animal if they go missing due to being stolen or running away. You will need to report the cat missing to the police.

When looking at insurance cover, aim to find an insurer who will be willing to pay the purchase price, as well as up to £2,000 for the cost of advertising or a reward.

Boarding Fees: If you the owner need to go into hospital or care, this insurance policy can pay for a cattery to look after your cat whilst you are unable to care for them.

Currently the maximum level of cover is approximately £1,500 for boarding fees – and again it is recommended to try get the maximum possible.

Foreign Travel Cover: Take your cat away with you, you can get vet fees covered so you can seek medical attention overseas. You can get cover for up to £2,000 worth of vet treatments.
