Compassionate Care Cat Hospice - Albany, CA

I am offering house calls with Covid protocols and virtual Telehealth visits to provide guidelines about Quality of Life and pain recognition.
​
My house call practice is dedicated to supporting you and your cat during home hospice care or euthanasia.

The goal of hospice is comfort (palliative) care rather than cure or aggressive treatment. In my practice, I care for cats with terminal illness, as well as cats experiencing discomfort while passing through the natural aging and dying process.

My goal is to offer guidance to you, so you can:
  • understand your cat's symptoms and know what can be done to help
  • share in making a plan that considers what is best for you and your cat               
  • feel comfortable voicing concerns about your cat's well-being and also your own process and feelings.

Suggestions and advice will be provided to you on:
  • hospice care, including medical methods to make your cat comfortable & other ways of providing comfort
  • assessing quality of life
  • recognizing signs of discomfort
  • saying goodbye
  • self-care: taking care of yourself physically (e.g. fatigue) and experiencing feelings such as grief
  • decisions regarding euthanasia
