Cat insurance provides a great deal of financial protection for you and your cat (well you really, as your cat will not be paying costs). You could stand to lose a great deal of money if your cat becomes ill or is involved in an accident, in fact thousands of pounds might have to be found to pay vets bills.

If your cat is in an accident and has to have tests such as x-rays and scans then already your bill starts mounting up very fast. Then you have to add on the treatment your pet receives, the stay at the vets, medication and follow up treatment if needed. By this time your bill could be astronomical. Pet insurance would provide you with financial help up to a set limit, which means you do not have to struggle to find the whole amount. Depending on the level of cover you choose to take, the policy could even cover the whole cost.

Cat insurance typically also provides financial help for the death of your cat due to illness or an injury. It could help with quarantine expenses and any loss of documentation. Some of the top end policies provide you with money towards boarding fees, the theft of your cat and advertising for its return.
