FAQs
How much does a visit cost?
Every visit starts with a free phone call, where we quote the exact price before you book. There’s no exam fee, no travel fee, and nothing added at the door.
How quickly can you come?
We hold urgent slots every day for cats who are struggling. For non-urgent visits, we’re usually able to schedule within a few days.
Do you serve my area?
We serve Martin County — Jupiter Island, Hobe Sound, Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, Port Salerno and Seawall’s Point — and St. Lucie County, including Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce.
What happens during an in-home euthanasia visit?
We start with sedation, so she drifts off in your lap over 10–15 minutes before anything else happens. We never watch the clock.
Can my other pets or kids be there?
Yes. Whoever needs to be there can be — children, other pets, whoever loved her.
What happens to my cat’s remains?
We arrange cremation and a paw-print keepsake as part of every euthanasia visit, so you don’t have to make another call during an already hard week.
How do I know if it’s time?
Cats hide pain well. If you’re noticing her hiding more, eating less, or grooming less, a quality-of-life consult is a good next step — no commitment either way.
Do you treat dogs too?
Yes. Please see my general practice website DrCatherineHouseCallVet.com.
Can I bury my pet at home?
Yes. Families may choose to bury their cat at home, following local regulations and safe burial practices.
