Cat insurance typically covers a wide range of events and circumstances that could otherwise leave you financially distressed. Ask yourself where you might get thousands of pounds if your cat was to fall ill or be involved in an accident. Vets bills can be enormous and insurance would pay most or all of the costs.

There are many different policies available depending on what you want out of cat insurance. The very basic policies with the lower monthly premiums typically provide protection just for vet’s fees in the event of illness or accident of your cat. If you want full protection and peace of mind then you may wish to consider a lifetime policy. This means you take out cover and it lasts the lifetime of your pet. This type of policy typically provides up to much financial help in any one year and includes cover for lifetime illnesses such as diabetes. For instance you may be able to claim £300 for advertising costs if your pet is lost.

Cat insurance typically covers boarding fees, vets fees, theft or loss, death from illness or injury and may even provide financial help in the event that you have to cancel a holiday due to the illness of your pet.
