At Home Veterinary Services provides compassionate end of life care for cats in Tigard and the surrounding area. When the time comes to say goodbye, our veterinarians come to your home so your cat can be at peace in the place they know and love.
From the moment you contact us, your family's needs are our priority. We will listen, answer your questions, and give you the time and space you need to make this deeply personal decision. There is no pressure, no rush — only support.
Choosing when to say goodbye is one of the hardest decisions a pet owner will ever make. Sometimes the answer is clear; other times, you may need help understanding your cat's level of comfort. We offer Quality of Life Assessments to help families evaluate their cat's well-being, and we can discuss all available options — from pain management and hospice care to a gentle, in-home farewell.
What matters most is your cat's quality of life right now. Cats live in the present — they do not anticipate feeling better tomorrow or mark time the way we do. If your cat is in pain or distress with little hope of improvement, the kindest choice may be to let them go peacefully. We will help you see the situation clearly and make the decision that feels right for your family.
Some families hope for a natural passing, and we understand that wish. In most cases, however, a natural death is neither quick nor painless. In-home euthanasia offers a peaceful, gentle alternative — surrounded by the people and the home your cat loves most.
If you are considering end of life care for your cat, we encourage you to reach out. Even if you are not yet sure, an early conversation can ease the path ahead. Our office is based in Tigard, and we are always close by when you need us.
