Insuring your older cat

Just like us, as cats get older, they, unfortunately, become more susceptible to illness and even injuries. Older pets may also understandably require more aftercare and time to recover from an accident too.

As a proud pet owner, we understand you want your cat to get the best possible care should they develop a medical condition or have an accident. With older cat insurance from Perfect Pet we can help to cover costly vet bills in an emergency. This can help to at least take care of the financial burden, giving you one less thing to worry about as your cat recovers.

Cover available from 4 weeks old

No Upper age limit

Older cat insurance with no upper age limit

Many pet insurers do not provide cover for cats once they reach a certain age, which we don’t think is fair. We believe that all pets deserve protection and cover! That’s why we have no upper age limits; we know your cat is family and has a right to be protected. Our range of older cat insurance plans are tailored to accommodate the needs of older cats, and of course, suit varying budgets.

Get cover up to £4,000 per condition with NO LIMIT on the number on the number of conditions you can claim for.
T&Cs apply.

Things you should know about
older cat insurance

We feel that it’s right that we highlight the key relevant terms that you need to know when buying older cat insurance online through Perfect Pet. Here’s what we think you should know:

New Customers

New Customers

When taking out a Perfect Pet policy for the first time, a 14-day waiting period at the start of your policy will apply. This means that any diagnosed illnesses or noted symptoms made during this period will not be covered. Cover for accidents will become active after 5 days.

Policy Renewal

Policy Renewal

When you renew your Perfect Pet insurance policy, providing you do not have a break in cover, you will not be subject to any waiting periods and will have continuous cover. We will remind you 21 days before your policy expires. If you’ve agreed to Continuous Payment Authority (CPA), we will renew your policy automatically unless you tell us otherwise. Please be aware, as a cat gets older, insurance premiums may increase to accommodate the risk of age-related illness.

Co-Payments

Co-Payments

To help keep our premiums affordable for senior cats, when your cat is 10 years or older, a contribution towards each vet bill is payable, known as a co-payment. The co-payment amount is 15% in addition to any applicable excess, which will be deducted from the policy limit. At 15% our co-payment is one of the lowest around!

Policy Exclusions

Policy Exclusions

Any conditions or symptoms that existed before taking out a Perfect Pet policy are excluded from the cover. This exclusion also applies to conditions that develop and are related in any way to a pre-existing condition. Dental and oral treatment, unless caused by an accidental injury is also not covered. A full list of exclusions can be found in our policy wordings.

Policy terms and conditions vary. Please read the wording of the specific policy you intend to purchase for full terms and conditions.
