Cat Insurance Guide

Underwriting insurance for cats is sophisticated compared to the early days when the first policies were sold. Cat owners seeking indicative insurance quotes from individual pet companies are likely to be asked whether the cat is a cross breed or pedigree such as Burmese or Persian, the age of the cat and full UK postcode.

Most insurance companies for cats offer either monthly or annual premiums and provide benefits such as veterinary fees in case of illness or injury. Also, compensation should the cat die suddenly from illness or injury or becomes lost, in some cases this could represent the purchase price of the cat, cattery fees if the owner is unexpectedly hospitalised for a specified period of time and holiday cancellation benefit. Remember each cat insurance policy is different in terms of the cover offered and terms and conditions.

Unlike some types of insurance, there are often several levels of cover for your cat that you can choose from. The main differences vary according to the provider, however, higher premiums usually mean increased policy limits for sections of cover such as vet fees and cattery fees. When comparing policies between pet insurance companies, look out for claim excess amounts, for example the cheapest premium may translate into the highest claim excess.
