The aspect of veterinary care that Kate finds most rewarding is interacting with people and their pets. She enjoys working up cases and is committed to providing excellent care to her patients.
Kate's personal life is graced by the presence of her two cats, Squash and Flo. Squash, who joined her family after being hit by a car, is now a lively and affectionate companion.
