Join the refurlution!

Cats have been treated by many vets ​like small dogs for far too long!
The Cat Vet goes the extra mile for each & every cat, providing felines ​& their doting ​owners with premium cat friendly veterinary care & advice without leaving the comfortable surroundings of home.
Cats deserve nothing less than
the very best ... and don't they know it! 
​​

Dr Jo Lewis MRCVS

Feline Veterinary Surgeon & The Cat Vet's Director

I have over 20 years experience working in feline veterinary medicine & a lifelong love of cats. I truly understand cats & the fact that getting them to a traditional vet clinic can be stressful for you & your cat ... & in some cases impossible! In my experience this is the main reason cats don't see a vet as often as they should. 

​As an active member of the
 International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM), I set up The Cat Vet to devote 
my career to genuinely making a difference to the health & well-being of each & every cat.  The best way to achieve this I believe, is by bringing routine veterinary care to the place where cats feel most at ease ... their own home. I started from scratch (so to speak) & set up the ultimate in cat friendly vet clinics, the UK's first "no dogs allowed" Home Visiting Clinic, which is based on the Queen's doorstep on the borders of Berkshire, Surrey & Hampshire.

My Expert Advice page is designed to help cat carers from all financial and cultural backgrounds to access the same down to earth, reliable & practical advice that my clinic's clients receive. I am a self confessed 'crazy cat lady' & had to work harder than most to make my dream of becoming a vet happen, so this is probably why I am still as passionate about improving cat health & well being now, as I was at age six. Nothing makes me happier in my job than being able to share my expert knowledge with fellow cat humans so together we can positively affect cats' lives. 

My newest project is starting my own The Cat Vet You Tube Channel (a work in progress!). I'm also super keen to help persuade other vets to take the plunge & run their own mobile cat clinic. ​Please support me in my quest to share my knowledge by sharing links to my page's content on social media with fellow cat people! If there are video topics that you feel would be really helpful, please subscribe to my channel & leave a comment & you'll be updated when I've had a chance to upload it. 


Thankyou for helping me to help cats!

Other Passions & Projects

Animal ​Welfare

I'm a passionate advocate for improving the welfare of all animals. As a member & signatory for Vet Professionals for Animal Welfare & Ethics (VetPAWE) I strongly oppose the culling & hunting of wildlife & fully support the work of The League Against Cruel Sports. I also actively press my local MP on such matters. 
I'm a member of ISFM, Cats Protection & Compassion in World Farming. I regularly donate to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, RSPCA & PETA & fully endorse ProtectAPet's clever product that keeps cats safely contained when in the great outdoors & reduces the impact of predation on the local wildlife.

Educating Others

I have a voluntary role as the resident feline advice vet for The Good Vet & Pet Guide, the UK's most comprehensive directory for helping owners find a good vet. The Cat Vet  supports the Vets Get Scanning Campaign.

During my time working as a veterinary clinical pathologist, I have run practical clinical pathology workshops for vets & nurses in the local area & have also 
written teaching modules on "Infection Control" for Vet Logic, an education provider for student vets, nurses & animal care personnel. My latest venture is developing my own educational YouTube channel.

Media & Print

The Cat Vet is the UK's #1 ranking vet on Free Index. Both the practice & I have been nominated for the Petplan Vet Awards 2016 & 2017. I've written content for Your Cat magazine, Your Residence magazine, local news papers, my website & Jo Blogs.

​​My unusual career captured the attention of world renowned industry journal, Veterinary Record. I've been asked to 
edit academic journal content for In Practice & comparative reviews on diagnostic testing. Recently I helped review a drug company's survey for an up & coming medication & my latest voluntary project is reviewing a new veterinary textbook for Veterinary Record.
