Because you’ve made them part of your family
And it goes without saying that you would do anything to get them better if they were injured or unwell.
We know that, as caring parents, you value your cats’ health and want to ensure they are always well looked after. Unfortunately, the fact is that no matter how well you look after them, most cats will require veterinary treatment at some stage, and vet bills can add up very quickly.
There is no Medicare for pets
What is difficult to account for are the more serious illnesses that can, and commonly do develop in cats as they mature. Chronic conditions like kidney disorders and diabetes can cost thousands of dollars to treat over the life of your cat.
The good news is that vet care has advanced significantly over the past decade. Unfortunately, the cost of vet treatment has also risen significantly and there is no Medicare for pets, so when anything happens to your cat, you will need to foot the entire bill.
It can save your cat’s life
Pet insurance is a way to protect both you and your cat from unexpected vet bills. There is no need for your cat to suffer if veterinary care is too pricey, and no difficult decisions for you to make other than getting them the care they deserve.
Above all, pet insurance will provide you with the security that you will never have to choose between money and the life of your beloved cat.
The sound of a content purr on your lap while you are watching TV or the silent jump on to your bed to curl up with you for the night or the playful tap of a paw…anyone who has ever owned a cat will know exactly what makes them so special to us!
We get this special connection as we are animal lovers just like you.
Cats are susceptible to chronic health conditions like hyperthyroidism and kidney disease, and these chronic conditions often come with a lifetime of treatment, such as life-long medication or monthly check-ups with a veterinarian. Our life-long cover* gives you peace of mind that your pet will be covered each year (as long as there is no break in cover, and subject to the terms and conditions of each renewing policy).

The purpose of cat insurance is to help cover the costs of unexpected accidents and illnesses that may occur. Unfortunately, it will not cover any existing conditions your dog may have, prior to insurance or during the applicable waiting period. These are known as pre-existing conditions. Pre-existing conditions may be covered depending on the nature and experience of the condition, and some conditions are eligible for review after no signs or symptoms of the condition are present for an 18-month period – see Pre-existing condition review section in the PDS for more information. This means that the ideal time to insure your pet is as early as possible so that anything that happens in the future may be covered.
