Conrad came up with the name The One Cat when we were preparing our British cat Dexter for international air travel. He lived the jet-setting life for two days, flying under the seat in front of us from London to Amsterdam, then on to Boston. We all enjoyed the extremely meow-y car trip to Brattleboro. He settled in quickly, but, as we were very busy, we decided to find him a friend.

We adopted Piper from the our local humane society, and she is a tiny handful. She loves to play, and to make lots of noise. Pipes is a fan of boxes and bags, and she enjoys hanging out on her purpose-built catio watching the world (and squirrels and birds) go by.

On the 29th of May, 2025, we sadly lost Dexter. He had been very ill the previous summer but had rallied and we were able to hold on to him for quite a bit longer than had been expected. We miss him desperately, but we know he had a long and happy life, and we are grateful we were able to say goodbye to him and that he is no longer in pain. RIP, wonderful Dext. We love you. See you in another life, brother.

About us

We met in Brighton, a city on the south coast of England, in 1997, and we’ve been together ever since. We married in 2012, and decided to move to the US – Pat’s a New England girl and hadn’t lived at this side of the pond for nearly 20 years. Vermont really was the only choice because of the seasons, views, politics* and warm welcome, and we chose Brattleboro because of the resilient, compassionate sense of community and the creative spirit of its inhabitants. When we opened the One Cat in 2014, we knew we didn’t want anything fancy – no hot tubs or champagne- just a friendly, comfortable space on a dowtown residential street in a vibrant neighborhood, and Clark Street fits the bill. We love our home, our neighbors, and our excellent little town, and we feel very lucky to have found such a great place and so many wonderful friends. The One Cat allows us to share some of that experience with others.

                                           HANDS OFF EVERYTHING! 

We stand against the cruelty, carelessness and incompetency of the authoritarian regime occupying our Peoples’ House.  The GOP appears hell-bent on destroying this nation, unifying behind a small group of vile individuals even as they are hurting the very people who put them into office.

Our tax dollars, including those earmarked to pay for clean air and water, housing, healthcare (such as it is) education, infrastructure, the arts and virtually every public service is being stolen while the money we are sending to Israel and other monstous regimes continues to flow. The US is now fully complicit in the genocide and countless other war crimes.

We’re doing our part to resist and refuse here in Vermont, despite our Republican governor’s lack of backbone. The One Cat supports local social justice groups and their work to protect and to help immigrant, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ people. Please locate and support such organizations in your town/city. We need to remain united in this fight. At the moment we are particularly worried about our friends, colleagues and neighbors in the asylum-seeking community. Please see latest Mewsletter for one thing we are doing to help raise funds here in Vermont.

Already taking part in the resistance? Thank you for your service!
