Insuring Your Cat
All Reiver Ragdoll kittens leave us vet checked, wormed, flea treated, micro chipped and with FOUR weeks top-of-the-range cover from Petplan Insurance.
Petplan will contact you soon after to discuss continued cover, the levels
they offer and the cost.
There are many other pet insurers in the market offering varying types of
cover and you may decide to choose one of those.
In choosing, please check carefully that you are buying CONTINUOUS cover and
not year-on-year cover which would mean an illness or accident claimed for one
year would not be covered in the next.
We strongly advise that you do continue to have your kitten insured as there
are a variety of common feline illness common to all cats for which there are no vaccinations. And then, of course, there are 'accidents'.
Insurance cover usually has an 'administration' period which may be 2 - 4
weeks at the start during which time you are not covered - so don't waste time
in deciding which insurance cover to choose. Also, all have an 'excess' - an amount which you pay towards the cost of each claim. Again, check this out when deciding which insurer and level of cover to buy.
Many vets offer a monthly 'pre-payment' scheme to cover the cost of future routine visits ie vaccinations, worming, teeth cleaning. While this is extremely useful, it is NOT the same as insurance cover. Again, if this is offered, do check with your vet what is included and whether you will need this in the first year of your cat's life with you.
