pawprint   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.
home   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. Dr. Burnside provides services within the Austin city limits.

home   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.

pawI have special needs kitties, but even if I did not, I would want Dr. B to take care of them - she really likes cats. I first called Dr. B to come to my house because I have one psycho cat, and one with chronic asthma -- Misha. Getting Misha outside and in the car always aggravated her condition, I was desperate- she could not move, could not groom, she would keep me up all night coughing. Dr. B made me feel like Misha was her #1 project. She let me know that Misha could be on an inhaler; it works beautifully. Also Dr. B has a special instinct about Misha's other medications- she is vigilant about monitoring them, and changing them up when the need arises- she knows before I do. Dr. B is also a fanatic record keeper and communicator. She often has her lovely assistant Charla call me to follow up and gather even more info and to encourage me to do my part. Misha is moving about the house comfortably now, and has lost some weight (still working on that)! She looks wonderful and acts like a very happy Kitty. The psycho cat, Fuzzy, is another story.
