Meet the most passionate team in cat care
Sarah Middleton
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.
Kelly Wright
Head Registered Veterinary Nurse
Kelly has always wanted to work with animals, since nursing her teddies back to health in the busy veterinary practice that was her grandma’s living room. She worked in small animal and mixed practices in Preston and Newcastle before joining our team in 2016 for what she describes as her dream job – and to date it remains the best decision of her career!
Caroline Pallister
Head Receptionist
Caroline has been a key member of the SimplyCats family ever since we first opened our doors in May 2009. Outside of work she enjoys spending time with her two cats, Katie and Maisey, as well as beekeeping, gardening and playing bass guitar.
Carys Redman-White
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.
Kay Buchanan
Animal Care Assistant
Kay is a lifelong lover of all animals – and cats in particular – and has been a super member of the team since joining in 2020. She is currently the house servant to Morag the sphynx cat, who likes nothing better than climbing curtains, chasing jingly balls and coming for blanket cuddles!
Deb Wilkinson
Receptionist
After a long career in retail Deb was delighted to join the SimplyCats team in 2017. She is a lifelong cat lover, and was given her first kitten when she was five years old. At home she is kept busy by brother and sister tuxedo cats Bo and Bobbi. She loves meeting all of our patients when they check in at reception – she’s never met a cat she doesn’t like!
