Pet cats have always been part of my life. As a vet, I especially love seeing the special bond cats develop with their caregivers.
As an experienced feline veterinarian and cat caregiver myself, I understand the concerns that can come with a visit to the vet. Throughout my career, I have seen many devoted cat carers putting off trips to the vet because of the stress a clinic visit can cause their cat—something I completely understand. These experiences inspired me to create a mobile veterinary service dedicated exclusively to cats, as cats are happiest and most relaxed in their own homes, and I believe providing care in a familiar environment can make veterinary visits a much more positive experience for everyone.

I have dedicated my career to developing extensive knowledge and expertise to understand cats and their unique medical and behavioural needs. I studied here in Perth at Murdoch University, graduating in 2019 and have worked across emergency, general and feline-only veterinary practice, during which I have met and treated so many beautiful felines. In 2024 I achieved Membership of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in Medicine of Cats, an advanced qualification in the veterinary field demonstrating an expert level of knowledge and expertise in feline medicine. That same year, I led my clinic to achieve Gold-level Cat Friendly Clinic accreditation, an accomplishment of which I remain incredibly proud.

It is important to me to take the time to understand each cat as an individual, as well as the needs and circumstances of their caregiver. I enjoy working with families to create practical plans that work for them and their cat. I am committed to staying at the forefront of advancements in feline medicine, regularly reading new studies and attending conferences and courses, to ensure my patients receive the most up-to-date, expert and compassionate care.

When not reading about all things cat, you’ll usually find me exploring WA’s amazing coastline. I am a frequent visitor to Shark Bay and Exmouth and I particularly love turtle nesting season! I enjoy staying active with yoga, pilates, running and walking my beloved British Shorthair cat Ivy around the neighbourhood, and I also enjoy the local community football and theatre scenes.
I look forward to meeting and helping many of Perth’s cats!
“As a cat lover, I believe all cats deserve access to quality veterinary care, in the comfort of their home environment where they are happiest.”

Mum brought me home in 2022 and I have had a full-time job running the household since.
I’m not a fan of leaving home, and get especially scared at the vet clinic. After a few trips where I made my feelings very clear, Mum finally got the hint and created a special home-visit vet service just for cats. Now I get my health checks and treatments at home - and it’s being shared with other cats now too! Instead of worrying during their check-ups, many cats will even enjoy their appointment!
When I am not taste testing the treat orders for Mobile Clinic for Cats, I can be found working my way through my daily food puzzles (and giving up if they’re too hard) and strolling around the neighbourhood in my harness with Mum.
