Charity gives access to specialist "small furry"
insurance to help cover vets bills
CavyRescue - the UK's first and only dedicated rodent rescue
charity - now gives owners of 'small furries' (such as guinea
pigs, rats, ferrets etc) access to a specialist small mammal
insurance. This Small Mammal Vet Fee insurance helps cover the
costs associated with a rat, rabbit, guinea pig, ferret and
other small mammals’ health and welfare.
And for every animal policy sold, the charity will receive
a donation.
Jason Hulott, co-founder of the charity, says: "We all
know how expensive vets’ bills can be for our ‘small furries’.
And although they may be smaller than a cat or dog, it does
not mean that the vets’ bills reflect this!
"For example – to x-ray a rat or guinea pig can cost anything
up to £80 – and that is without the consultation fee or any
treatment needed; ongoing medications for a rat with respiratory
disease will cost around £330 every year; and removal of a lump
and all its associated costs can go well into hundreds of pounds.
"With this Vet Fee Insurance for small mammals - which
can cost from as little as 22p a day – it means that you don’t
have to worry anymore about setting aside money for those inevitable
vets’ bills. And for every policy sold, CavyRescue will benefit,
ensuring that we can continue our work with unwanted, abused
and abandoned small furries well in to the future".
Free 30 day veterinary fee insurance is available to people
rehoming a small furry from CavyRescue.
