Saying goodbye to a cat you have loved for years is never easy, but it does not have to happen in a cold exam room. At Home Veterinary Services travels to homes throughout Tualatin to provide end of life care in the place your cat knows best — right beside you, in their own space.
One of the most difficult aspects of this time is the uncertainty. Is it too soon? Have you waited too long? Our veterinarians can help you navigate that question with honesty and care. A Quality of Life Assessment gives you a professional, compassionate evaluation of your cat's comfort and prognosis, so you can make a decision grounded in understanding rather than fear.
If your cat is living with a chronic or terminal condition but still has good days, there may be options to extend their comfort before euthanasia becomes necessary. We offer hospice care and pain management tailored to cats, helping you make the most of the time you have left together.
When the time does come, our veterinarians will be there in your Tualatin home to guide you through a peaceful, gentle goodbye. Your cat will be sedated first, then given the euthanasia solution without any distress. You may stay as close as you need to. An ink paw print or fur clipping keepsake is included for families who want a small, tangible remembrance.
Many people hold onto hope that their cat will pass naturally in their sleep, but this is unfortunately uncommon. Natural death often involves prolonged discomfort, labored breathing, and distress. In-home euthanasia, handled with gentleness and respect, spares your cat from that suffering. Over the years we have helped thousands of families make this compassionate choice, and we will be there for yours as well.
The cost for in-home euthanasia is a flat $440, covering the house call and your keepsake. Cremation services are also available — $325 for individual cremation or $155 for general cremation. Please call 503-281-1631 whenever you are ready to talk, whether that is to ask questions or to schedule a visit.
