Mag. Irene Summer

After completing my veterinary studies, I pursued further training through a small animal rotating internship at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna (VetmedUni Vienna).

 

I have always been a cat lover and grew up surrounded by our feline companions. That’s why I feel very fortunate to have been part of the KATZENPRAXIS team since early 2018, where I can now dedicate myself entirely to the medical care of cats.

 

Dental diseases have a significant impact on feline health, which led me to specialize in veterinary dentistry. Through various continuing education programs – including the European School for Advanced Veterinary Studies and interactive dental seminars by VetCoaching – I have gained extensive practical experience and continue to update my knowledge regularly to stay current in the field of feline dentistry.

 

Because behind every majestic whisker is a mouth that deserves care.

Dr. Lisa Ennsmann

My name is Lisa Ennsmann, and I’ve been part of KATZENPRAXIS since 2016 – first as a veterinary assistant during my studies, and now as a veterinarian with a special focus on the unique needs of our feline patients.

After graduating in 2019, I dedicated myself to deepening my expertise in internal medicine and ophthalmology. I continue to pursue ongoing education to provide our patients with thorough and compassionate care.

One area especially close to my heart is kitten medicine. From early development to preventive care, the health and well-being of the youngest cats is something I am particularly passionate about.

 

In my free time, you’ll often find me with my horses, practicing Working Equitation – always accompanied by my three cats, of course. After all, you’re never truly dressed without a little cat hair.

Mag. Sophie Hartl 

My name is Sophie Hartl. I completed my veterinary studies in Vienna in 2024 and immediately joined the team at KATZENPRAXIS.


As a cat mom myself, I understand how challenging it can be when a beloved feline companion is unwell or needs special care. That’s why it’s especially important to me to treat every cat as an individual and provide the best possible medical care — with empathy, dedication, and professional expertise.

Jasmin Ullmann

My name is Jasmin Ullmann, and I joined KATZENPRAXIS as a veterinary assistant just two months after it opened.


A gentle approach and optimal care for our feline patients are especially important to me, which is why I strive to stay up to date professionally. After completing further education in feline nutrition, behavior, and anesthesia, I earned the ISFM “Feline Nursing” certificate in 2021, making me an internationally certified feline veterinary nurse.

 

Cats can be complex and subtle in their behavior, which is why I dedicate much of my time to understanding their nature. Every cat deserves individual care and support – tailored to who they are.

Julia Walter

My name is Julia Walter, but within our team, I’m simply known as Julsi. Since May 2021, KATZENPRAXIS has become much more than just a workplace for me – it’s where I’ve found true fulfillment in caring for cats and connecting with them in a meaningful way.

I completed my training as an Academically Certified Veterinary Assistant through the Austrian Veterinary Chamber, and I am currently finishing my ISFM Certificate in Feline Nursing.

Working at the KATZENPRAXIS has brought my childhood dream of becoming a veterinarian to the surface, which lead me to starting my studies at the „University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest“

 

Our patients deserve the very best care,  because cats are more than just pets – they are sensitive souls with whom we can share a quiet, profound connection.

"In the presence of a cat, the heart grows calm – they gently lead us back to ourselves."

Lydia Lübke

My name is Lydia, and I’ve been working with passion in veterinary clinics since 2016.


I completed my training as a veterinary nurse in Germany and have been part of the KATZENPRAXIS team since May 2021. You’ll find me assisting in both surgery and internal medicine – and occasionally in the office as well.

 

I grew up in Heidenheim an der Brenz (Germany), where cats were always part of my family. Now I live in Vienna with my own cat Eevee, along with Minou and Miri, my flatmate’s feline companions.

I’m currently preparing to earn the ISFM Certificate in Feline Nursing and the ISFM Emergency & Critical Care qualification.

Francesca Ljubas, B.A.

My name is Francesca, and I’ve been part of our KATZENPRAXIS since autumn 2021.               

After completing my studies in European Economy and Business Management, I found my place in the heart of the clinic’s management - a role where I can combine my passion for organization with my deep love for cats.

 

What I especially love about my daily work are the many touching encounters with both people and animals. The clinic has become a place where I truly feel at home – because heart, responsibility, and passion go hand in hand here.

 

Animals also play a big role in my personal life: I live with my two cats, Vili and Maxi, and my dog Alina – a wonderfully chaotic and loving team.
I’m also deeply committed to helping abandoned and distressed cats. Together with my best friend, I’m currently in the process of founding a small animal rescue organization – a heartfelt project that means the world to me.

Hello, my name is Jacqueline Göd. I've always wanted to work with animals, which is why I completed the animal care program at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna with distinction.
After gaining experience in various clinics, I found my place at KATZENPRAXIS.

Here, I’ve had the opportunity to learn and refine the gentle and specialized handling that cats require. I especially enjoy the variety in my work—switching between anesthesia and medical assistance keeps things exciting and deeply fulfilling.

I’m truly happy and grateful to work with cats every day—because they are such incredibly special creatures.
