KAIT CURRY

Kait has been in the veterinary field for 22 years, the majority of that being in feline only clinics. Kait spends most of her time in our upstairs office as a manager, but still loves to come down and squeeze as many cats as she can. She is a staunch Jersey native, sharing her home with her husband, her lab mix Paisley, and three perfect angel cats Dewey, Lily, and Winston Bishop. In her free time she likes to read, watch the Phillies, travel, and hang out with her little fam. 

CEIL PASQUARELLO

Born and raised in the City of Brotherly Love, Ceil comes from a customer service/hospitality background. She finally found a home in the veterinary field and has never looked back. She especially enjoys meeting all the new feline patients and interacting with their human companions. When not at work she lives with three feline boys and enjoys playing video games and socializing with friends. 

PRISCILLA PARSHALL

Priscilla, a native upstate New Yorker has been a licensed Veterinary technician since graduating in 2004. She made the move to Philadelphia in 2006 and has worked in a neighborhood small animal practice ever since. She joined the CCV team in December 2016 and enjoys biking to work and maintaining all the greenery inside and outside of the practice.  Priscilla lives in Queen Village with her husband, two boys, one hound dog, two cats, and a guinea pig. She loves cats so much she’ll often be seen biking around, caring for cats in their homes while their humans travel. In her down time, Priscilla enjoys sewing, gardening, knitting, and attending ballet class.

Kristin Nye

Kristin, a recent transplant from Delaware, has over 20 years of experience in animal care. She’s worked with exotics, pocket pets, birds, as well as cats and dogs. Her proudest moment was doing volunteer disaster relief in North Carolina, where she helped save lost pets and reunite them with their families. On her personal time she enjoys spending quality time with her family: her cats (Ani, Miller Time, Ember, and Romeo) and her dog, Rooster.

Luis Ortiz Juarez

Luis is a Mexican-American, 1st generation graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and our veterinary receptionist. While he was pre-med in college, his interests led him to major in Religious Studies and pivot to the veterinary field after graduating in 2021. Before joining our team, Luis was a Client Services Coordinator for Banfield Pet Hospital and a veterinary technician for Emancipet. His cat Mews has been his inseparable companion through this journey since his adoption in 2018. In his free time, Luis can be found reading, at the beach, working out, playing videogames, playing soccer, napping with Mews, or most likely studying. 

Erin Flaherty

Erin (she/they) has been working in veterinary medicine since 2022 and joined City Cat Vets after wanting to follow a passion for feline medicine and all things cats. Erin graduated from Tyler School of Arts at Temple University, where she was a part of Temple Cats. There she learned about the importance of TNR. Erin is a feeder for a colony of orange and white kitties (and one brown tabby) in South Philly. She has two long haired cats, Moonie and Enid. While not caring for the cats of City Cats, Erin can be found taking care of many kitties across South Philly while their owner’s are away, crafting, watching movies, reading, and hanging out with their friends and partner.

Tortellini joined City Cat Vets in 2017, after she decided that the multi-cat household lifestyle wasn’t her speed. Torts enjoys human attention, lap-sitting, drooling like a leaky faucet, and lunch naps with Lori. She loves meeting clients, but tries her best to ward off cats with her urine (so she’s kept off the clinic floor as much as possible). Tortie is a fantastic educator and tolerates all kinds of silliness when helping our staff teach owners how to manage their pets’ care.

Markie

Markie joined the City Cat Vets crew in 2021, when his health issues became more than his family could handle. He had a painful orthopedic issue that required a specialty surgery and months of aftercare, as well as cerabellar hypoplasia (wobbly cat syndrome) and kidney disease. During his recovery time with us, it became apparent that Markie was here to stay. Markie is a mercurial little weirdo who can go from snuggly to bitey in a flash; lucky for him his good looks and sometimes-charm work to his advantage. When he’s not occupied with smelling human feet or shoving pipe cleaners under the bathroom door, he can be found supervising the staff from the hallway staircase.

Lucy

Lucy came to us in July of 2024, when her previous owners could no longer care for her. She (and her frenemy Olive) occupy our cat retirement apartment/3rd floor doctors’ office, where they can enjoy their retirement in relative peace and quiet. Lucy is a big, playful, sassy girl who’s no idea she’s a senior. While her favorite hobby is biting Dr. Humenick, she has been curating a large hoard of toys and many friends since her arrival to CCV.

Olive

Olive came to us in July of 2024 a mere 2 days after Lucy, when her owner became too ill to care for her. She is a very shy and sensitive girl, but she’s come into her own during her time with us. Olive enjoys very brief brushing sessions, long naps in the insulated lunchbox on Dr. van Saun’s desk, and supervising the doctors from her favorite perch atop the stove.
