Mission Statement |
| The mission of Cats Love Housecalls is to make every veterinary visit for an owner and their special cat an extra-ordinary experience that involves kindness and knowledge. We provide common services but perform them uncommonly well by traveling to our patients, listening to our clients, completing thorough physical exams, and empowering owners through excellent communication to provide the best treatment for their cat from kittenhood through the golden years. |
Advantages of Housecalls |
| If you are a busy professional and/or parent, have a multi-cat household, are a senior, or just have a kitty that does not like to visit the veterinarian, you are not alone. Cats are often stressed by being placed in a carrier, traveling in a car, and being exposed to the strange sights, sounds, and smells of a veterinary clinic. You may find it time consuming to make the trip and are personally concerned if your cat appears uncomfortable at the animal hospital. Having a veterinarian come to your house and examine your cat can make the visit a more pleasant experience for you and your kitty. You can both enjoy the comfort of your home; this allows the veterinarian to examine your cat in a stress-free environment and allows you to discuss cat health care topics in a relaxed setting. |
A Variety of Services Provided |
Cost Comparison of Housecalls |
| The primary difference in the cost of a housecall visit is the "housecall fee" or travel fee that a mobile veterinarian charges to come to your home. It provides the convenience of a vet coming directly to your house and putting both you and your cat at ease. Otherwise, charges for exams, vaccines, lab tests, and other veterinary services are very comparable. |
