Cathy graduated from Massey University with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science in 2024 and joined the CareVets Rototuna team in 2025. She has a keen interest in internal medicine and soft-tissue surgery, with a particular passion for the diagnosis and treatment of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) — inspired by her own cat Gizmo’s courageous battle with the disease in 2023.

Outside of work, Cathy enjoys spending time with her partner and their lively household of three cats, three dogs, and four guinea pigs. When she’s not caring for animals, she loves watching criminology documentaries and real-crime case reports on YouTube.
