ABOUT US:
We are a busy 2-site independent practice in Oxford providing first opinion and referral care to cats within Oxford and the local area. Working with us offers a unique opportunity to be immersed in all things cat with a great team of experts in the field.
We know vets work at their best when there is good case communication, team support, and a sensible workflow, so we make this happen. 20-minute consultations are standard with regular gaps in the day for admin and lab reporting. Lunch breaks and finish times are respected.
The 1st Opinion and Referral teams collaborate closely, enabling 1st Opinion clinicians to make internal referrals and gain valuable insights from the Referral team’s expertise through ward rounds, case discussions, and internal CPD opportunities. If feline medicine is your passion and you want to immerse yourself in all things feline while contributing to the growth and success of the Clinic, we’d love to hear from you!

Meet Our Veterinary Team in Oxford
Our Specialist Facilities
Our Marston clinic has invested in a suite of in-house lab machines. This means that should your pet need a blood test, samples can be processed same day, with results being reported to you normally within 24-72 hours.
An ultrasound examination is especially helpful for diseases of the heart, and when used to examine the heart, the procedure is called echocardiography.
Most x-rays are carried out under sedation or general anaesthesia and allow us to assess the skeletal system and internal organs of your cat.
