Cat Insurance

A common question often asked is, “Why is cat insurance so important?”. Well, at Vetsure we know that your relationship with your cat is special. You know their every expression, every meow, every purr and every blink. No one knows them the same way you do, which is why when they’re out of sorts, you can tell.

What is cat insurance?

For many of us, our cat is part of the family. We know that you truly 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. Pet insurance can offer financial protection against unexpected vet fees, should your cat ever require medical care.

However, the choice of pet insurance products can be bewildering and so this is something that shouldn’t be rushed.

Is it worth getting pet insurance for cats?

Pet 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 pet insurance policy in place in times when your gorgeous puss needs it the most, makes it so worthwhile. You don’t want to ever have to compromise on their health, which is why we offer three types of policies allowing you to find the one that suits you and your companion best.

With Vetsure Pet 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 ONCE per condition, which can be a massive help if your pet is unfortunate enough to suffer from a long-term medical condition.

And don’t forget, if you’re ever unsure about anything regarding your pet insurance, we can help! This table shows how likely it is that you will reach different limits within a policy year, if your pet becomes poorly and requires treatment.

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

What does pet insurance cover for cats?

Vetsure cat insurance policies have been designed by vets to offer reassuring cover for the cost of vet treatments of accidents and illnesses 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 benefits that are particularly 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.
