It was the ambition of practice owner Simon Backshall to create a veterinary clinic that would avoid many of the normal stresses experienced by cats when they are taken to the vet and brought into contact with other types of animals.

A feline-only clinic tries to avoid many of the sights, smells, and noises that cats can be exposed to in the waiting rooms and hospitalisation units of mixed-animal clinics.

Opened in 2007, Just Cats became the first feline-only veterinary practice in the Northwest of England.

Shortly after opening, we were one of only 8 practices nationwide to receive a Gold Award at the Feline Advisory Bureau (now International Cat Care) Cat-Friendly Practice Awards ceremony.

Just Cats Veterinary Clinic continues to offer a high level of veterinary care in a quiet and calm environment.
