Twitching Cats – Demystifying Feline Hyperesthesia

Dr Martine van Boeijen graduated from Murdoch University in 1999 and after spending her first post-graduate year in Perth, she moved to London to work in a busy emergency centre where her passion for feline medicine developed. She attained her ANZCVS Memberships in Feline Medicine in 2010, and in 2016 branched away from general practice to open Perth Cat Hospital; the first, feline-only vet facility in WA. Her practice has expanded substantially since opening and proudly won a highly acclaimed Telstra Business Award for Energised and Emerging Businesses in 2018. Dr Martine regularly lectures on feline specific topics including behaviour and is well known for her enthusiasm and energy. Her practice sees both first opinion cases in addition to accepting regular referrals from surrounding Perth practices for complex dental and medical cases. Martine is a dedicated cat parent to her two very loved, geriatric Burmese; Rollie and Eddie.
