A peaceful, dignified goodbye in familiar surroundings. No carrier, no car ride, no waiting room. Just comfort and compassion when it matters most.
Schedule a Home VisitSaying goodbye to your cat is one of the hardest decisions you'll ever make. The last thing you want is for their final moments to be filled with the stress of a carrier, a car ride, and an unfamiliar clinic.
Dr. Adam Behrens brings compassionate end-of-life care to your home. Your cat can pass peacefully in their favorite spot \u2014 on the couch, in a sunny window, or in your arms \u2014 surrounded by the people and smells they know and love.
This is what in-home euthanasia offers: control over an uncontrollable situation, and the ability to give your cat a final gift of comfort and dignity.
"I agree with other reviewers in giving this man the highest marks. He is gentle, honest, straight forward and caring. Our first experience was the unhappy occasion of having to put my beloved kitty to sleep. We were very nervous and upset. While still a painful experience, we were both reassured by Dr. Behrens."
\u2014 Kathryn S., San Francisco
Dr. Behrens arrives at your home and takes time to understand your cat's condition and answer any questions. When everyone is ready, he administers a gentle sedative. Your cat relaxes, feels no pain, and drifts into a deep sleep.
Once fully sedated, a second injection peacefully stops the heart. The process is calm, painless, and takes only a few minutes. You can hold your cat throughout, or simply be nearby \u2014 whatever feels right for you and your family.
Afterward, Dr. Behrens handles everything. He can take your cat's body for cremation, with ashes returned to you if you choose individual cremation.
All prices include the home visit, examination, and procedure. Payment is collected before the procedure.
