Speaker bio page for Dr Alison Richards

Bio

Alison qualified as a vet from Bristol Veterinary School in 2010 and spent her first 8 years in clinical veterinary practice. In that time, she developed a real passion for the feline side of small animal practice, regularly being the cat advocate in the team, and started educational volunteering for Cats Protection. In 2018 she joined Cats Protection’s veterinary team and now works as the Head of Clinical Services. In her role she enjoys the opportunity to promote a feline focused, holistic approach to the veterinary treatment of cats and is a big believer in the value of pragmatic, contextual care. Outside of work she has a rescue cat called Smartie, and two dogs Benji and Ted who she loves to be out walking with.
