A typical cat insurance policy can cover your cat for the following:
A low cover and cheap cat insurance policy will cover your cat for accidents, which can include car accidents, dog attacks and snake bites.
More comprehensive cat insurance policies can help pay for vet bills related to illnesses. Most will cover cancer treatment, eye and ear conditions, diabetes and more.
Routine care refers to the preventative treatments your cat often needs such as vaccinations, desexing and dental care. You'll usually have to pay extra for it if you want it included in your cover.
We looked at 96 different breeds and calculated that cat insurance costs around $25 (for an accident-only policy), $40 (for accident and illness) and $46 (for comprehensive) a month. This is based on a 1-year-old cat. Remember costs will likely differ a little depending on your cat's health, age, breed and where you live.
