Referrals

Manchester Cat Clinic is now accepting referrals from other veterinary practices for dentistry, internal medicine and behaviour.

If you are a vet who would like to refer a case - please email hello@manchestercatclinic.co.uk with the following:

"Dental Referral", "Medicine Referral" or "Behaviour Referral" in the subject line
A full medical history
The client's contact information (including full name, address, email address and telephone)
A brief overview of the case
When making a behaviour referral, please specify whether you would like your patient to see one of our veterinary surgeons to screen for pain and medical issues first, or whether you have already ruled this out and would like them to go straight to a behaviour nurse consultation

Our client care team will contact your client to arrange their referral appointment. We will follow up with a full report once your patient is discharged from our care.

If you are a cat owner who would like to be referred - please speak to your vet about arranging a referral.

Referrals are made by the cat's current vet. If you are a cat owner who would like to move practices for a second opinion, please visit our "Second opinions" page.

What is the difference between a referral and a second opinion?

Referrals are made by veterinary surgeons who wish to send a patient to a colleague with specific skills, qualifications or experience. Patients who are referred to us remain under the care of their usual vets and return to them after having treatment or investigations. The referring vet will send across the patient's medical history and we will send a full history / report back to them afterwards.

Second opinions are when a cat owner chooses to move to another practice, usually permanently. As part of our professional conduct obligations from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, we must have a full medical history from a patient's previous vets before seeing a second opinion.

Sarah is a registered student member of the Animal Behaviour & Training Council (ABTC). She completed a 2-year Level 5 Diploma in Applied Feline Behaviour in December 2025, and is currently in the process of undertaking her Level 6 Advanced Diploma in Applied Animal Behaviour so that she can become a registered Clinical Animal Behaviourist.

To have a consultation with Sarah, patients must be referred by a veterinary surgeon who has ruled out pain and other medical causes for the behaviour concern. When making a referral, please specify whether you would like your patient to see one of our veterinary surgeons to screen for pain and medical issues first, or whether you have already ruled this out and would like them to go straight to a behaviour nurse consultation.

Visiting Cardiology specialist

Our patients also have access to our visiting cardiology specialist, Emily Dutton from Cheshire Cardiology. Emily and her skilled team visit us periodically to allow our patients to have specialist-level care in the familiar environment of our practice. A typical case, which has a consultation, blood pressure measurement, ECG and full Doppler echocardiography costs £1332, although each cat's care is tailored to their needs and a full estimate will be provided and discussed.
