End of Life and Hospice Care

Our love for our cats is endless, but their time with us is not.

Navigating end-of-life care and decision-making is perhaps the most difficult aspect of being a cat caregiver. Gifting your cat with a gentle, loving, and peaceful goodbye is one of the most beautiful.

If you are facing end-of-life decisions, the Crescenta Cañada Cat Clinic team can provide compassionate, timely, and personalized support that honors your cat’s life, preserves their dignity, and celebrates your one-of-a-kind bond.

Hospice and Palliative Care Services

Hospice and palliative care provide support and comfort for ailing cats and their caregivers in the months, weeks, or days before saying goodbye. By managing your cat’s pain, supporting their mobility and hygiene, and alleviating stress and anxiety, hospice and palliative care can help you make the most of every moment together.

Euthanasia and Aftercare

When it’s time to say goodbye, we provide compassionate euthanasia and dignified aftercare options.

Euthanasia
Euthanasia appointments are conducted with the utmost respect and privacy, ensuring a peaceful, loving, and gentle experience for your cat and their family. Our caring team will talk you through each step so that you understand the process and have the time and space you need before and after your beloved companion’s passing.
Aftercare
Honoring your cat’s memory is deeply personal, and we’re here to support you in whatever feels right. Our aftercare options include cremation services and memorial keepsakes. If private burial is preferred, we can prepare your pet for a respectful transport home.

Difficult Decisions: Quality-of-Life Assessments

Emotional attachment and fear of loss can make it difficult to know when it’s “time.” Our quality-of-life consultations and resources can help you understand your cat’s current well-being and make compassionate, informed choices based on their best interests.

Support and Understanding at Every Step

As fellow cat caregivers, we appreciate the enormity and difficulty of end-of-life care and the grief that precedes and follows that final goodbye. Let us walk alongside you and help you navigate this journey with care, compassion, and clarity.

For questions about end-of-life care or the euthanasia process, contact our team. You can also schedule an appointment or ask for grief support resources.
