Cat Insurance

As many owners will agree, cats can be highly inquisitive and sometimes this can get them into scrapes. Our Covered for Life policies for cats offer a broad range of benefits for owners worried about their cat developing a long-term illness, like arthritis or diabetes which, as incurable conditions, may require extensive veterinary treatment through the course of the cat's life. Cats are also susceptible to road accidents, and treatment to get your cat back to full health can potentially run into thousands of pounds.

Our most comprehensive cat insurance plan.

Petplan Ultimate provides up to £12,000 of vet fees per year and offers cover for complementary treatment like hydrotherapy and acupuncture. If your four-legged friend goes missing our cat insurance plans will cover the cost of advertising and a reward for its safe return. Petplan will also pay the cost of boarding your cat at a licensed cattery while you are in hospital for unexpected visits during the policy year.

Petplan Essential is designed for cat owners who want cover to provide help with the high cost of veterinary treatment .

Up to a period of 12 months for each condition. If your cat requires behavioural treatment or physiotherapy, our Petplan Essential plan will cover the cost up to your vet fees maximum benefit.*

*Treatment must be carried out by your vet.

Take a look at the following table which shows the benefit levels of our cat insurance. Please also take the time to read the full Terms and Conditions so that you understand all of the benefits and limitations.
