Shorthair cat breeds in India: wellness and insurance planning
Active apartment cats still need early cover planning — urinary, dental, and accident risk do not wait for a pedigree crisis.
*GuavaSure acts as Group Manager for Digit-issued cover. GuavaSure provides wellness packages, annual vaccinations, preventative wellness add-ons, digital identity, onboarding, and claims support services

Quick answer
Shorthair cats are popular in Indian apartments. Preventive wellness plus Digit-issued cover (via GuavaSure) works best before urinary or dental crises. GuavaSure is not the insurer.
Apartment life is not zero risk
High-rise falls, closed-bathroom accidents, and stress cystitis patterns show up in metro clinics. Early records and cover beat late shopping after a blocked tomcat emergency.
