Cat Euthanasia at Home
Peaceful Farewells | Mobile Cat Euthanasia
As cat owners, we know that our feline friends are not just pets but cherished members of the family. We understand that the decision to say goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy, and it can be especially difficult to take your cat to a clinic for this service. Many cats feel stressed, anxious and fearful when going to a vet clinic. For many owners, this is not what they want for their beloved cat’s farewell. That’s where our peaceful home euthanasia comes in. With in-home euthanasia, there is no need to place your cat in a cage, take them on a stressful car ride or endure scary unfamiliar surroundings. Instead, they can be comforted by the people/pets that they love in their own homes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, and we’re here to help. The home setting provides a loving, stress-free environment allowing families to give their cherished pet a peaceful farewell. It’s an option that offers a compassionate and pain-free peaceful passing preventing further suffering for pets and their families. In those treasured last moments, you want to focus on the things that matter and be in a comfortable environment. When it comes to your beloved cat, at-home euthanasia is a less-stressful option for end-of-life services.
This typically involves the use of a medication that is professionally administered by injection, which is designed to send the cat into a very deep sleep, like undergoing general anaesthesia, and then to pass away peacefully and painlessly. When possible, it is given intravenously. For our service, we insert and secure a cannula to ensure it enters the bloodstream as intended and so there are no adverse reactions from the medication leaking outside the vessel.
We recommend and always use sedation (+ pain relief). It is generally given as an injection under the skin prior to the euthanasia injection, similar to how a vaccination is given. This helps to reduce stress and anxiety. It’s important to carefully follow your vet’s instructions and to ensure that the cat is in a calm and comfortable environment during the procedure.
Some cats may require calmative medication prior to the visit, particularly those that fear new people, are difficult to handle, do not do well with vaccination needles and haven’t had a vaccination in a long time and therefore uncertain of their reaction. A discussion with a vet or a pre-planning visit beforehand may be best for the cat’s emotional well-being in these circumstances.
Yes, if it’s best for your pet’s quality of life. Euthanasia is a difficult decision that should be made with careful consideration of the cat’s health and well-being. In many cases, euthanasia is a humane and compassionate option for an old cat who is experiencing chronic pain, suffering from a serious illness, or experiencing a decline in quality of life.
Older cats may be more susceptible to a range of health issues, including arthritis, kidney disease, and cancer, among others. These conditions can cause pain and discomfort and may limit the cat’s ability to engage in normal activities such as eating, drinking, and using the litter box. In some cases, euthanasia may be the most humane option to prevent further suffering and to provide a peaceful end to the cat’s life. If you’re unsure, it is best to talk to a vet or book a quality-of-life assessment.
