I’m Dr. Marieke Knies, Dipl. ECVIM, internal medicine specialist. I absolutely love cats – they fascinate me every day! Their clever ways of communicating, independent personalities, and the challenge of keeping them healthy make my work incredibly rewarding and fun.
My expertise is in senior cats and referral-based feline medicine, for cats sent by their veterinarian for advanced diagnostics or treatment. I take a cat-friendly approach to make visits as stress-free as possible.
At home, I share my life with two cats: Pip, a 12-year-old red European Shorthair named after Pippi Longstocking – feisty, curious, with her trademark white socks, and always trying new things. She even enjoys being pushed around in her little buggy by the staff, bringing joy every day. Then there’s Larkson Lyonesse Limpet, my secondhand Russian Blue, who might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but is incredibly sweet and loving. Luckily, Pip finds most other cats annoying, otherwise I’d probably have ten by now!
