Cat Insurance

At Vetsure, we know that the relationship with your cat is special. No one knows them the same way you do, which is why when they’re out of sorts, you can tell. Our cat insurance aims to give you the peace of mind that should the worst happen, their all important care will be covered.

What is cat insurance?

For many of us, our cat is part of the family. We know that you want to do all you can to care for your companion should they ever be feeling poorly, or just generally out of sorts. We also know that veterinary treatments can be costly. Cat insurance can offer financial protection against unexpected vet fees, should your cat ever require medical care. However, the choice of pet insurance for cats can be bewildering, so researching the policy that’s right for you and your cat is important.

Is it worth getting cat insurance?

Cat Insurance can be a huge help financially. Pet owners typically claim on their pet insurance far more frequently than on their home or car insurance. On average, a Vetsure policy holder makes at least one claim every two years. You never know what may happen around the corner, so having your trusted cat insurance policy in place in times when they need it the most makes it so worthwhile. You don’t want to ever compromise on their health, so we offer three types of policies allowing you to find the one that suits you and your companion best.

With Vetsure cat insurance you can claim for an unlimited number of conditions, provided they are not pre-existing. You also only need to pay your chosen excess amount just once per condition, which can be a massive help if your pet is unfortunate enough to suffer from a long-term medical condition.

Remember, if you ever have any questions about your cat insurance, we can help! We developed this table to show how likely it is that you’ll reach different limits within a policy year, if your cat becomes poorly and requires treatment.

We also have dog insurance and multi-pet insurance if your kitty is part of a big family with other pets.

What does cat insurance cover?

Vetsure cat insurance policies have been designed by vets to offer reassuring cover for the cost of accident and illness vet treatment, as well as cover against other incidents like theft, transportation for treatment and rewards when lost. We also offer a range of optional covers including: public liability (for dogs) and a range of features that are beneficial if you take your pet abroad.

We have an Accident Only policy to cover against accidents and injuries and two Accident and Illness polices. Our Accident and Illness policies offer you the choice of two generous benefit limits for vet treatments. Both of these limits apply to each unrelated condition and recharge fully each time you renew – allowing you the freedom to claim against an unlimited number of different eligible conditions! Regardless of their age, pets should have protection to live their life to the fullest – which is why we also offer an Accident Only policy for cats over ten. We also have a multi-pet insurance for those of you with multiple pets.

      For example, if a cat is unfortunate enough to be diagnosed with three unrelated conditions within the same policy year and was covered by a ‘Premier’ policy he would have up to £2,000 per condition per policy year – so, up to £6,000 Veterinary Fees benefit available per policy year for these three conditions.
