Cat Insurance

[pilates]

Can anyone recommend a good insurance provider for my 6 month kitten?

She has been vaccinated, spade and wormed.

Our two are insured with Argos, at about £6 a month each. They are 18mths old. Last year one of them was badly bitten and needed 2 X-rays and 6 weeks of antibiotics - over £750 in vet bills, and they paid up very promptly. Premium only went up a tiny bit this year. I can highly recommend them.

Does it cover life long conditions and what's the excess?

[Answeringwhyquestionssince2002]

Sorry didn't spot your reply til today! It's lifetime cover, so as long as you keep renewing it covers existing conditions, though it's limited to £4000 per year per condition. You can opt for £7000 for a higher premium. The excess is about £65.

You can get similar cover with Petplan, - though the premiums are more expensive, the excess is lower, about £35 I think.

More Than insurance. Always been amazing, great staff and wonderful to me when I was sobbing down the phone re: cat and a bloody awful spinal lesion/paralysis.

Cheque in the post within ten days after she had £2,400 worth of treatment at the specialist vet.

I have used them for all three of my (accident prone) cats and I have never once been let down. Bloody marvellous company.
