Re: are your cats insured

Yes, with PetPlan and 2 cats with a discount.

Peds so more than a moggie.

Why? Peace of mind and because vet fees are >ing

Why? Because i let them out into the wide world.

Re: are your cats insured

I don't because it would cost more to insure them all than to pay the vets bills (15 plus any kits). However I do have a 'pot' that I call my cat fund, if a kitten is sold the money goes in the pot which is used for anything at all that I need for the cats except food/litter. Needless to say I do usually have to add to the 'pot' and have never yet seen a day when it was looking healthy

On the other hand, I do insist that any kittens sold go away with the 6 weeks free insurance from Petplan that is available to breeders, this is for my own peace of mind, not the new owners. It is up to them after 6 weeks if they pay for it or not

Ok, £16.50 a month x 15 cats, also with £60 excess Nahhhhhhh, I know vet fees are extortionately high but weighing it up better to just pay the vet. Someone with only say 1-3 cats it could be beneficial

I dont insure either but have money set aside to cover medical expenses.
Speaking as a breeder I dont think there is any pet insurance that would cover a breeding cat anyway. If one of my cats needed a caesarian then it wouldn't be covered by insurance so a bit pointless really.

Re: are your cats insured

Nope, never have been.

I have a cat at the vets at the moment after he was hit by a car, so far he has had anti-inflamtry injections, metacam, x-ray, an operation and 8 days stay at the vets. The total bill: £300.
...bearing in mind most vets charge at least £30 per overnight stay alone... so why is my bill so cheap... for the simple reason that the bills go up if you are insured as the vets will go to town getting money from insurance companies.

From childhood to current (22yrs) I have had 12 cats and this is the most expensive vet bill I have ever had, so I stand by my choice.

Re: are your cats insured

I had two bills at about £330 each last year for operations and overnight stays, still less than paying the insurance on large numbers

Re: are your cats insured

Nope, have a cat account too. Insurance does'nt cover the breeding cats, plus gets expensive insuring 8
