Our Feline Medicine referral service is led by two passionate and experienced feline-focused clinicians: Ester Caires DVM and Roberta D’Antone GPCert(FelP) GPCert(End).
Ester Caires is currently completing a Postgraduate Certificate in Feline Medicine and has a strong commitment to feline welfare. She brings over seven years of experience in diagnostic imaging, with a particular interest in abdominal ultrasound in cats.
Roberta D’Antone holds postgraduate certificates in both Feline Medicine and Surgery (2018) and Endoscopy, and has over six years’ experience working in a feline-only practice. She provides a comprehensive referral service, including complex internal medicine cases, oncology, and feline-specific surgeries such as thyroidectomies, perineal urethrostomies, and advanced dental procedures.
Together, Ester and Roberta offer a collaborative, cat-centred approach to advanced feline care, supporting both pet owners and referring vets in managing a wide range of medical and surgical conditions.
Ester is based at Just Cats, Dublin’s only dedicated feline veterinary clinic, which is also an ISFM-certified Cat Friendly Clinic—ensuring a calm, stress-free environment tailored specifically to feline patients.
