- Cats and kittens less than five-years-old pay a fixed excess: £99.
- Cats between five and six years pay a fixed excess of £99 as well as a 15% co-insurance fee.
- Cats aged six years or above pay a fixed excess of £100 excess plus a 20% co-insurance fee.
Co-insurance is a common feature in pet insurance, designed to lower the cost of premiums for aging pets. You pay this as a contribution towards any amount claimed that is above the fixed excess.
For all cat insurance claims, you pay the excess for each illness or injury in each policy year. If one of your cats receives treatment for the same injury or illness in separate policy years, Healthy Pets will deduct the fixed excess from the first claim(s) for each condition in each policy year.
No, it is not mandatory to microchip your cat in order to be eligible for this cover.
Healthy Pets do not provide cat insurance for any breed that is not listed on the breed selection options when quoting. These include, but are not limited to, Savannah cats, or if your pet is crossed with a Savannah-breed cat.
If your cat would be over 13 years of age at the outset of the policy, Healthy Pets are unable to offer cover.
