Kitten To Cat

Zeta Frasca BVSc MRCVS

Zeta has been working in small animal vet clinics since she was 11 years old when she started as a kennel girl in a Central London practice.

In her life she has owned and rescued countless cats, dogs, horses, tortoises, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, green tree frogs, a salamander and an iguana. However she has always dreamed of working solely with cats and in March 2008 opened London's only cat veterinary clinic. Zeta has undertaken further study in feline medicine and is a member of the Feline Advisory Bureau, a non-profit organization committed to the welfare of cats.

She currently lives in Kew, Richmond with her two cats Romany and Treacle, five fish and a fiancé (in that order of importance).

Wanda Owen BVSc MRCVS

Wanda graduated from the University of Bristol as a fully qualified veterinary surgeon in 1996. She immediately started her career as a small animal vet at a busy four vet hospital in Ruislip, Middlesex and it was here that she quickly developed a specific interest in feline patients. Wanda has been able to pursue this interest in her subsequent jobs, working both as a locum vet and in permanent positions. She returned to the University of Bristol for a year in 2000 as the Fort Dodge Feline Fellow, a clinical training scholarship focusing on feline medicine. She has also carried out voluntary work in Greece, neutering and treating ill cats for the Greek Cat Welfare Society. Wanda has a further interest in complimentary medicine and is currently undertaking a five year veterinary homoeopathy course. She lives in Wimbledon with her partner and their son and two cats, Gordon and Sapphi.

Natalie Rickner RVN

Nat has been nursing in small animal London vet clinics for 7 years. When working in a busy animal hospital Nat was given the job of taming 3 wild kittens that had been dumped on their doorstep. After a month they became the most loving and affectionate of pets albeit after many bites and scratches. Two were re-homed but cheeky Georgie stayed behind to rule her new household. Nat spare time is spent entertaining, feeding and grooming Georgie and when allowed, that is to say when Georgie has had enough of Natalie, she coxes a men’s eight for her local rowing club.
