What to check before claiming
A claim starts with understanding your policy wording. We explain the information insurers may request and the practical steps to take when your cat needs treatment.

Keep records ready

If a claim is declined, review the reason against the policy wording and ask the provider for clarification. Follow its complaints process if needed.
Common questions
Questions cat owners ask
What should I compare in a cat insurance policy?+
Compare cover type, veterinary fee limits, excesses, exclusions, waiting periods and how pre-existing conditions are treated. Provider information can help you assess the differences.
Does cat insurance cover every condition?+
No policy covers every condition. Exclusions and pre-existing condition rules vary, so read the wording carefully and ask the provider about anything unclear.
Can breed affect cat insurance?+
Breed can be relevant to health considerations and policy questions. Use breed guidance to identify useful questions, then check the individual provider’s terms.
How can I compare cat insurance costs?+
Costs can vary with factors such as cover type, your cat’s age, breed and health history. Compare like-for-like features rather than price alone.
When should I arrange cover?+
Consider insurance before health issues arise, because providers may treat existing conditions differently. Check waiting periods and start dates before choosing cover.
