Cat Insurance
There’s no denying that humans and cats have a special connection. Our kitties can cheer us up when we are feeling down, and they make us feel warm and fuzzy inside when they cuddle up to us and purr in contentment.
We get this special connection as we are animal lovers just like you.
- We understand that you want to be able to provide the care for your beloved family member deserves … always.
- Unfortunately, no matter how well you look after them, most cats will require veterinary treatment at some stage, and vet bills can quickly add up.
Our cat insurance cover helps you to provide your beloved furry friend with vet care so that he/she will never need to suffer unnecessarily.
Most of all, our cat insurance options will provide you with the security that you will never have to choose between money and the life of your precious family member.

How do we calculate our cat insurance premiums?
Your premium is calculated when your Bow Wow Meow Pet Insurance policy begins, at each policy anniversary, and also if you vary your cover. The premium for each policy period is printed on your certificate of insurance.
Cat insurance costs are based on several factors specific to your cat, including:
- Type of cover
- Options selected
- Pet’s age
- Pet’s breed
Upon renewal, we also factor in the claim history for your pet and the average cost of care for pets like yours, as well as the claims experience across all our insured pets. These factors, in addition to the changes in your pet’s risk profile, means your premium will increase from year to year.
When should you take out cat insurance cover?
The purpose of cat insurance is to help cover some of the costs of unexpected accidents and illnesses that may occur. Unfortunately, it will not cover any existing conditions your cat may have, prior to insurance or during the applicable waiting period. These are known as pre-existing conditions. Pre-existing conditions which are temporary conditions are treated differently, and some conditions are eligible for review after no signs, symptoms or an abnormality 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.
