About Us
We are an independent, feline-only veterinary practice dedicated to providing exceptional care for cats and an outstanding experience for their owners. Our small, supportive team shares a genuine passion for feline medicine, nursing excellence and client care. We have created a place that is welcoming not only for cats and their carers, but also for our team members. At Graylands Cat Clinic, we are passionate about delivering exceptional feline care while promoting a healthy work-life balance.
Since opening our purpose-built clinic in November 2023, we've been dedicated to creating a calm, compassionate environment where cats receive truly individualised care. We are proud to be both an ISFM Gold Cat Friendly Clinic and Zero Pain Philosophy Accredited, reflecting our commitment to evidence-based, fear-free feline medicine.
As an independent practice, we have the freedom to do things properly. We invest in our people, encourage new ideas, and believe that every member of the team should have the opportunity to develop, contribute and feel genuinely valued.
We want our RVNs to feel valued, empowered and involved throughout their patients' journeys. Nurses play an integral role in our practice, leading and developing a range of nurse-led clinics, including Kitten Clubs to support new kitten owners, Weight Clinics, Dental Clinics and Osteoarthritis Clinics, to name just a few. Our nurses play a key role in keeping clients engaged in their cat’s health journey.
We believe strongly that client education and empowerment is key to feline welfare. That’s why we want our nurses to be both educators and advisors to our clients. This approach has allowed us to build strong relationships with cat owners and has been a source of immense satisfaction for our nursing team.
