About us

Vets for Cats is a home visiting veterinary service exclusively for cats in the greater Dublin and County Kildare area. We love cats and want to keep them healthy and happy for as long as possible by providing dedicated, compassionate and affordable veterinary services in the comfort of their homes.

The service is developed for cats, who do not like travelling to the vets, and also for their owners, who would rather avoid the stress that this can entail.

This service is run by veterinary surgeon Julia Ivanova, a registered member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons in London and a member of the International Society of Feline Medicine, and so she regularly receives the latest information on treatment and management of diseases in cats. Julia is also registered with The Veterinary Council of Ireland and currently works in St Francis Dispensary Clinic in Dublin 8.

Julia has completed a 2-year post-graduate course in Feline Medicine with the European School of Postgraduate Veterinary Studies learning in detail about the best international practices in management of different illnesses in cats. She holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Feline Practice.

Julia loves cats, has genuine interest in treatment of cats, and empathy with their owners.

Julia visited my home last weekend to examine MayMay, my ex-feral cat, who is terrified of people in general. MayMay had never been examined by a vet before, except for one occasion where she was trapped and neutered by a cat charity,
when she was still living outdoors and before I rescued her. Julia handled her with skill and compassion and had her sorted very quickly. I am very impressed with the level of follow-up I have since received from Julia. I have never experienced this level of commitment from other vets and am very grateful to have found Julia. I have two other cats and will definitely contact Julia in the future for their regular check-ups. The house visit takes much of the stress out of the situation.

Julia came today to see our 2 cats, one is a rescued stray and nervous of strangers so would be very frightened to be taken in a cat carrier in the car to the vets. This is a great service, thank you Julia.

Julia is so lovely and kind. I called today as we were moving house and couldn't get our cat into the carrier. She drove all across the city to help and ended up having to sedate her. She's still answering my texts as I'm concerned and worried for my baby. Highly recommend.

One of the best services for cats we have ever had. Julia took great care with our cat and even came out for emergency stitches when they were scratched out. I would recommend to everybody. Hassle free and didn't have to leave the house. Thanks again for everything! Wayne.

Julia is just amazing when it comes to cats, she understands their mentality and gets to know their personalities, l have 5 cats and Julia has always got back to me asap if I leave a voicemail or text, she will come to my home if it is urgent and when my cats see her now, they want her to rub them down, my cats don't take to everyone because they are indoor, this is a very good sign to me, Julia tries her best to keep the cost down especially when she knows there's a long-term illness, l wouldn't ring anyone else, my cats are very well taken care of by Julia so why would I? Vets for cats is a cat owners must see. Highly professional, cost effective and most importantly very, very good with my cats, can't praise vets for cats enough. Thanks for everything Julia x

I thought my cat Lily was giving birth to her kittens but even though she got contractions no kittens arrived. She get very ill afterwards and I needed a vet to call out as Lily does not like cat boxes. Julia came to visit and tried to examine her but Lily was apoted from the wild and resisted and eventually had to be sedated to be examined. I think I needed some of that sedative with the worry I had about Lily. She had an operation as she miscarried and had a badly infected womb. Julia even brought her to her own home to look after her that night. Julia texted me every morning and rang me every evening to tell me how Lily was doing and even took photos of her to send to me I couldnt recomend Julia enough. She has surpassed all my experiences of vets. I would never use anyone else again. She genuinely loves cats and is patient and caring with them as well as their anxious owners. Fabulous

We really needed a vet to come to our house, because our cat is a former stray and very nervous. Our cat, Cattie had been sick for over a week. We got in touch with Julia and she came to our house the next night, a Saturday night, and after some struggle trying to catch Cattie she saw she needed to have teeth extracted. Cattie is now post surgery and back to her lovely self again. We are so grateful to Julia for her skill and for coming to our house, it was also great to have... See More

Thanks so much Julia for your patience with vaccinating Coco & Sparks tonight. They're definitely not the easiest cats to handle! But a home visit was so much less stressful than a trip to the clinic and it was all done before they knew it! Would highly recommend Julia & Vets for Cats. �

Amazing service, caring and kind! My cat Selina is doing amazing and we’d be lost without Julia! Will be ringing in the new year for the next one as it’s so much easier than anywhere else. Thank you so much:)

Brilliant service, Julia looked after Marvin who doesn’t like new people. She was able to give him and exam and injection, something I didn’t think possible
