Owning a cat as a pet brings a great deal of joy. However it can also come with some substantial cost if you pet suddenly falls ill or is involved in an accident. The cost of treatment, tests and medication can work out at thousands of pounds and could leave you wondering how you are going to find the money. If you have considered cat insurance and have a policy, the costs are typically covered.

If you have a pedigree cat there is always the risk of it being stolen. Some pedigrees are worth a great deal of money and are stolen to order. If your cat is a victim the chances of getting it back are remote. Cat insurance would usually cover the loss of your cat and advertising costs along with reward, up to so much, to get it back.

Illness and injury are typically covered up to so much in cat insurance, death from accident or injury may be included in the policy along with any quarantine expenses. What you get in your policy of course depends on the amount you wish to pay in premiums. Insurance is offered at different levels so compare what you get for your money before rushing into cover.
