I was at a Harry Styles show – the next minute I was saving a cat’s leg from being lopped off, reveals Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick

• Noel Fitzpatrick met the owner of a future patient at a Harry Styles concert 

Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick has revealed the moment he was leaving a Harry Styles concert only to find himself offering to save the leg of a fellow audience member’s cat.

Fitzpatrick told Dogs Today he goes to music concerts as as much as he can.

The beloved TV vet said: ‘Music is my medicine. It moves and inspires me.

‘I had managed to get a ticket to see Harry Styles. The show was epic!

‘Just as the concert was over… a lady tapped me on the shoulder and said: ”You’re the Supervet! My cat is going to have his leg off next week!”

‘I paused, and I could not help myself and replied: ”Oh no he’s not.”’

Just a week later, Fitzpatrick had met Oz the cat and saved his leg.

The Supervet added: ‘And so it is that the music of Harry Styles can save the limb of a poorly pussycat.’ 

The TV animal medic is currently on his Beyond Supervet tour.

He said he hopes to reveal ‘the real me’ to audiences around the country. 

The Supervet TV show first aired almost ten years ago in 2014 on Channel 4.

It has run for an incredible 17 series. Each programme, which lasts an hour, follows orthopaedic neurosurgeon Fitzpatrick and his team of more than 150 nurses, vets and physiotherapists as they care for different animals.

For many of Britain’s pets, Fitzpatrick Referrals can be their last chance of making a recovery.

His surgery is one of the largest and most high-tech veterinary practices in the world.

He looks at more than 200 animals every month. 

Speaking to Dogs Today, the Supervert admitted to do his job he had to ‘sacrifice’ a lot but he didn’t just want to be a vet, he needed to do it.

He said: ‘For me, there is nothing else I was meant to do.’

Fitzpatrick added: ‘Becoming a veterinary surgeon is a job full of highs and lows and soul searching every day.

‘One is surrounded by life and death.’

Mr Fitzpatrick previously opened up about the death of ‘best friend’ border terrier Keira, who couldn’t be saved after she collapsed in 2021.

The vet tried to resuscitate the 13 year-old dog in his back garden with the help of his team.

He told The Times: ‘I compressed her little heart manually with my finger, feeling for movement and watching the monitor at the same time. The line sprang up again. The soft thumps of recovery. But it was erratic, and not accompanied by spontaneous breathing.

‘Keira’s eyes rolled back. Another solitary thud, then her heart stopped beating in my hand. Flatline. I felt life leave her. The silence echoed. I carried her to the garden one last time, then collapsed, still clutching her.

‘For two hours I huddled there, just sobbing. She had been by my side through thick and thin during the building of my dream hospitals. She was my very best companion in the world.’
