No. If your cat is getting a little older but isn’t yet insured, it’s still worth considering pet insurance for cats in South Africa.
Why?
💚 Healthy today doesn’t guarantee healthy tomorrow. Cats can develop illnesses or need unexpected veterinary treatment at any stage of life.
💚 Vet care can get expensive. Consultations, blood tests, biopsies, radiology, diagnostics and surgery can quickly add to the cost of treatment.
💚 Pre-existing conditions matter. Pet insurance generally won’t cover conditions that existed before cover began, so waiting until your cat develops a health problem could affect what can be covered later.
💚 Middle age isn’t necessarily too old. Cat&Dogsure’s Accident & Illness Plan currently accepts cats from 8 weeks to 15 years, subject to policy terms and underwriting.
If you’re comparing cat insurance in South Africa, look beyond price.
Check the age limits, waiting periods, exclusions, benefits, excesses and what happens if your cat needs diagnostics or surgery.
Your cat may be older and wiser, but there’s still plenty of life ahead to protect. 🐾
