Why Insurance is Important for Catteries

Cattery insurance is there to give you peace of mind by protecting your business, and your customers’ pets against the unexpected.

It can help you to recover if a serious incident like fire or flood affects your premises ‒ and helps keep things ticking over until everything is back the way it was before.

At the same time, it can help to defend you if you are held liable for injury or illness affecting an employee or customer.

About the Catteries Industry

Given that 25% of UK’s adults have a pet cat and the estimated total population of pet cats now exceeds 11.1 million[1], it’s fair to assume there is a significant market for catteries. In fact, British Catteries (an independent directory) alone lists more than 500 across the UK.

It’s estimated that the annual cost of owning a cat is around £850 which, on average, means a total lifetime cost of around £12,000[2]. But of course, the value of a pet can’t be measured in pounds. They are companions, much loved by their owners – and those owners want to be able to rely on a cattery as a home from home for their pets when they are away.

That’s why a safe, clean, and healthy environment, along with friendly, caring staff, is so important for catteries. It’s about giving those owners peace of mind that their cats will be well looked after, contented and safe during their stay. Effective insurance is important for the same reason. It is an added layer of protection that customers value and, of course, is there to protect cattery owners should things go wrong.

So, it’s really important to think carefully about your cattery insurance needs before buying or, better still, get expert help and support to work out the risks you need to protect against, and find you the right insurance, at the right price.
