Our Story

The Plymouth Cat Clinic was formed from the collaboration and reflection of two very experienced veterinary surgeons who grew up with cats and have always had a passion for the feline species. Dr Jo Nott (Plymouth born and raised) and Dr Nikolai Athron are a married couple that met in veterinary school at The Royal Veterinary College, London.
 

After 18 years in general practice, they have chosen to focus their interests and passions towards the feline patient, and to deliver the highest quality veterinary care and client experience to the cats and people of the South West.
