Your cat has spent their life finding comfort in the familiar corners of your home — the sunny windowsill, the end of the couch, your lap. When their life is drawing to a close, At Home Veterinary Services comes to your West Linn home so they can remain in those places they love, surrounded by the people who love them.
The question of when to say goodbye weighs heavily on every family facing this situation. You do not have to figure it out alone. Our veterinarians can walk you through the factors that matter, helping you understand your cat's comfort level and what the coming days or weeks may look like. A Quality of Life Assessment provides a structured, caring evaluation that many families find brings clarity during an overwhelming time.
Not every cat facing serious illness is at the point where euthanasia is the immediate next step. If your cat still has quality of life but needs support, we provide hospice care and pain management to help them remain comfortable. These services can be a meaningful bridge, giving your family more peaceful time together.
When the moment arrives, our veterinarian creates a quiet, unhurried space in your home for your goodbye. Your cat is given a sedative first, easing them into a deep and comfortable rest. The euthanasia solution is then administered gently — your cat feels nothing. You may hold them, pet them, or simply sit close. We offer an ink paw print or fur clipping as a keepsake for families who would like one.
Many families hope their cat will slip away naturally and peacefully, but the truth is that dying without medical intervention is often a prolonged and uncomfortable process for cats. Euthanasia performed at home, with care and gentleness, allows your cat to pass without fear or pain. Having guided thousands of families through this experience, we can say with certainty that this final gift of mercy is one of the most profound acts of love.
The flat rate for in-home euthanasia is $440, which includes the house call fee and a keepsake. Cremation is available if you need it — individual cremation is $325, and general cremation is $155. To schedule a visit or simply talk about what your cat is going through, call us at 503-281-1631.
