Does Pet Insurance Cover

[wiggal]

The cost of a pet ambulance if the pet is not injured? If that makes sense! I friend of mine told my other half the other day, her cat had gone missing, and had been reported to the vets as being hit by a car.

She went to collect the cat who was fine luckily once it had recovered from the shock, but she has now been left for a �300 bill for the animal ambulance that found the pet and took it into the vets.

There is no way she can afford that, and my bf said to her that I knew of an organisation that may be able to help. He was meaning the Cats Protection League as he knew of them helping people to pay for pets being nuetered. Would they be able to help in this case? Or has any one got any ideas of how she can get help to afford to pay the bill? Ta

If you friend approaches the owner of the animal ambulance, they may work ou a repayment scheme to pay the debt, however �300 seems a bit steep for transporting a cat to the vet.
Blue Cross might help but they tend to do work within there own premises

Unless your friend requested the animal ambulance to take her cat to the vet I don't see how they can charge her for it.

Tell your friend to make a token offer of what she can afford to cover the costs of the diesel and maybe a tip for the driver and tell them to go stuff themselves for the rest.
