Cats are family and hold a special place in our hearts
Cats love to explore their surroundings and are curious by nature. Their daring instinct however, can lead them into trouble, despite even the most cautious of owners’ efforts to keep them out of harms way. This is where cat insurance comes in! Cats are family and so when they suffer an accident or illness, you’ll want them to receive the best possible care. With the right pet cover, you can protect your cat when they need it most and avoid having to pay out for costly vet bills.

We take a tailored approach to cat insurance because
every cat is different!
Your cat is unique, therefore, it’s only fair that your policy is tailored to suit their individual needs. With over 20 years of experience, we have profound knowledge of the ailments that could specifically affect your cat and its breed, which our intuitive online pet insurance quoting system accounts for. When getting a cat insurance quote, we will also consider your cat’s age. A kitten for example, will have different insurance requirements to that of a more senior cat, who, like us as we get older, are more prone to developing age related conditions.

Insurance for cats – choosing the right plan
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and that applies to pet insurance too! Simply opting for cheap cat insurance may not be the best option. It’s important that you take the time to understand the different options available to you and your cat. To help you choose, we’ve summarised a few important things to consider below:
Cover limits for accidents and illness
One of your first considerations and questions you should ask yourself is, how will you pay for any unexpected vet bills that may arise should your cat suffer an injury or illness? You should also consider medical conditions that your cat may encounter during its lifetime, which may vary between breeds.

Cat theft and straying insurance
Sadly, cat theft is a thing! We offer cover for lost and stolen pets with all policies except for ‘Accident Only’ and ‘Liability Only’. This covers expenses for local advertising and rewards offered for your pet’s return. Should the unthinkable happen and your cat is still missing after 45 days (during the period of insurance), we will pay a contribution to the original price you paid for your cat, providing they are under 8 years at the time of disappearance, up to your policy’s limit. Terms and conditions apply.

Holiday cancellation cover
Having to cancel a holiday because your cat needs emergency medical treatment is unlikely to be covered by standard travel insurance. Taking this into consideration, we’ve incorporated holiday cancellation cover into our cat insurance policies (excluding Accident Only). This benefit applies to pre-booked holidays for more than three nights outside of the UK. The cover is for the named policy holder only and covers costs incurred to cancel the trip, up to the policy’s limit. Terms and Conditions apply.

When on holiday in qualified countries within the European Economic Area (EEA) listed by the UK Government’s Pet Travel Scheme (“PETS”), our policies provide security and peace of mind. In the event your cat needs emergency treatment because of an accidental injury or an unforeseen illness, you can claim for necessary vet fees, up to the policy limit. Terms and Conditions apply.

This cover is available will all cat insurance plans except for Accident Only. Terms and Conditions apply.
