Meet the most passionate team  in cat care 

Head Vet and Partner

Sarah started SimplyCats in 2009 with Paul, her life and business partner, as they felt cats needed their own exclusive clinic. Her passion for cats has lasted since she adopted her first stray as a newly qualified vet and she’s loved working with them ever since! She has two ginger cats at home, in addition to horses, dogs, goldfish and children.

Head Vet and Partner

After graduating as a vet and 17 years of working in mixed practices, including caring for exotic Zoo animals, Paul pursued his second passion: feline care.  

Paul is currently in charge of the clinic’s house call services and also helps out with in-clinic care. He’s passionate about making this the best cat-only practice it can be! Paul ensures that all our vets, nurses, and support staff stay up-to-date with the latest advancements and technology — always with a focus on preserving the personal touch that makes our care so special.

Veterinary Surgeon

Michelle has loved cats since she was a young child, inspired by her childhood cat Fluffy Flufkins. She started cat rescue in the United States in 2004 and has been active in animal rescue ever since. Her love for cats and wanting to do more to help them drove her across the ocean to complete a veterinary degree at Royal Veterinary College. She lives with two rescue cats she brought from the US, Itty Bitty and Luna, and four foster cats.

Michelle is also involved in scientific research, dissolving aortic thromboemboli in paralysed cats using Nattokinase. This allows cats to walk again.

Veterinary Surgeon

Carys has loved cats since a displaced feline moved in with her family when she was six – so much so that she decided to become a vet soon after! She graduated from vet school in 2017, and has also volunteered at her local cat shelter. She has a handsome and snuggly tabby, Eric, and enjoys fell-walking, novels and arts and crafts.
