When selecting a cat insurance plan for your furry friend, it's important to consider the following:
Cat insurance often covers the cost of vet-related services such as examinations, medications and emergency care which your cat may require in the event of an accident or illness. If you would like to learn more, please review our policy conditions.
This helps to reimburse you as the pet’s owner the purchase price of your pet. In the event that your cat passes away by accident, illness or injury.
When selecting a cat insurance policy, it is essential to review the details carefully to ensure that the plan provides coverage for the theft of the pet.
With Purely Pets' Silver and Gold Lifetime cover products, you can claim up to £2,000 for advertising costs or a reward for the loss due to theft or straying, However, lower limits are available on the Bronze Lifetime cover.
The cost of boarding varies based on the type of kennel your cat is being kept in and the services that they provide. Generally, emergency boarding fees may cover the cost of food, bedding, and basic amenities in the event that you are hospitalised.
Additional services such as grooming, walking, and playtime may also be included in the total cost, so it's important to research your options to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.
Here at Purely Pets, our Gold Lifetime coverage offers a boarding fee cover of up to £2,000. Boarding fees cover up to £2,000, should you or a residing family member be hospitalised for more than 96 hours during the policy period.
Our policy wording outlines when such fees can be claimed.

A lot of insurers will not cover pre-existing conditions. A pre-existing condition is a medical condition or injury that a cat has shown signs or symptoms of already, prior to your cat insurance policy starting, even if the condition has not yet received a diagnosis.
Neutering is the process of removing a male cat's testes, while spaying is the process of removing a female cat's ovaries and uterus. Neutering and spaying can have many benefits for cats.
It can help reduce aggressive behaviours, reduce the risk of certain diseases, and reduce the number of unwanted cats in the community.
Vaccinations are a series of injections given to cats to help protect them from various diseases, viruses, and infections. Vaccines help to boost a cat’s immune system, allowing them to fight off infections and illnesses that can cause serious and even fatal health problems.
Vaccines are available for a variety of illnesses, including feline leukaemia, rabies, and feline distemper.
Excess is the amount that an insurance policy holder pays towards a claim. The excess can vary depending on the policy chosen and is usually deducted from any claim settlement.
For example, with cat insurance, the policy holder may be required to pay an excess of £140* for each claim. This means that the policy holder will be liable for the first £140 of the claim and we will cover the remainder.
*The excess amount may vary depending on your policy agreement

Even if your feline friend is happy and healthy today, you can never really know when an unexpected illness or injury will happen, which means vet bills could soon start to pile up.Even if your feline friend is happy and healthy today, you can never really know when an unexpected illness or injury will happen, which means vet bills could soon start to pile up.

While cats are great at taking care of themselves, they cannot avoid certain illnesses and health issues that may be prevalent among felines. Some of these illnesses and health issues include:
Vomiting is a common problem in cats and can be caused by a variety of health issues. It's important to understand the differences between acute and chronic vomiting, as the underlying causes of each can be quite different.
Acute vomiting is usually caused by a dietary indiscretion, such as eating something indigestible, or by an infection. Chronic vomiting can be caused by more serious issues, including an obstruction, pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, or cancer.
In any case, it's always wise to take your cat to the vet if they are vomiting to determine the underlying cause and get the appropriate treatment.
Feline lower urinary tract diseases (FLUTD) is a common yet serious condition that affects cats. It is caused by a variety of factors, including infections, crystals, stones, and blockages.
Symptoms of FLUTD can include frequent urination, straining to urinate, and bloody urine. If left untreated, FLUTD can lead to serious complications such as infections, bladder rupture, and kidney failure.
Fleas are small, wingless parasites that feed on the blood of cats, dogs, and other animals. They can cause severe skin irritation and anaemia in cats, and can lead to secondary bacterial infections.
Fleas can also transmit tapeworms and other diseases to cats, so it is important to take preventive measures to keep them away.
Diarrhoea is a common digestive disorder that can affect both cats and humans. It is characterised by frequent, loose, watery stools, and can be caused by a variety of factors such as an underlying medical condition, food intolerance, or a bacterial or viral infection.
Diarrhoea can be a serious issue for cats, as it can lead to dehydration and other health problems.
Every feline is different, and there's no one size fits all when it comes to cat insurance policies. When pet owners come to Purely Pets, we base your cat insurance quote on various factors:
Your cat's breed
The level of lifetime policy you choose
The amount of excess you decide to pay
If your cat is neutered or not
Where you live
Yes, the location of where you live can have an effect on the cost of cat insurance. Insurance premiums are set based on a variety of factors, including the area in which you reside.

In the UK, it is not a legal requirement to microchip your cat, but it is highly recommended. Microchipping your cat could be a life-saving measure in the event of your pet going missing.
If a lost pet is found, vets and animal shelters can use the microchip number to contact the registered owner. Without a microchip, it can be difficult to prove that you are the rightful owner of a pet
Even if you select the most comprehensive lifetime policy for your pet, it still may not cover pre-existing conditions. This includes any illness or injury your cat has or shows signs of developing before you take out your cat insurance.
These policies offer cover for accidents and illnesses for the pet’s lifetime. This is dependent upon you renewing the policy each year and keeping up to date with premiums. These are usually the most expensive policies, because they provide the most comprehensive cover.
All of our Lifetime policies offer you a pot of money per year that will cover all accidents and illnesses. We only offer Lifetime cover to our customers as we believe it is the most comprehensive cover available.
Like humans, our pets are more likely to be affected by illness as they get older. This means that every year your insurance premium will increase even if you haven’t made a claim. This increase will be significant if you have claimed.
If you have a cat of a certain age, it can be tough to find pet insurance. At Purely Pets, we believe every animal deserves the best, no matter your cat's age.
That's why all our lifetime veterinary cover policies have no upper age limit – we'll protect your cat whether they are 8 weeks old or a senior.

Lifetime pet insurance is a type of cover that ensures that your beloved cat is covered for new medical conditions throughout their lifetime, no matter their age.

Maximum Benefit insurance is a form of insurance that pays out a maximum amount per condition to policyholders when their cat suffers an illness or injury.
With Maximum Benefit cat insurance there is no time limit to use this benefit limit, subject to the policy being renewed. However, once the limit has been reached there is no further cover for that condition.
Maximum Benefit cat insurance is used for medical expenses, such as vet visits, prescriptions, and other medical costs.
Time limited pet insurance can protect your pet's health while also keeping your costs low.This type of insurance policy is designed to provide coverage for short-term illnesses and injuries for a specific period of time, usually one year.
Accident only cat insurance is a type of pet insurance that covers medical costs that are incurred when pets are injured in accidents. It is an option for cat owners who want to makesure their cats are covered in case of an accident, but don't need to be covered for any other type of illness.
Accident only pet insurance is usually more affordable than comprehensive pet insurance policies, which cover both accidents and illnesses. This is because it only covers accidents, cat owners may find that it is a more cost-effective way to protect their cat if they only require cover in the event of an accidental injury.
