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.

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.

pawMy cat Ms. Peach was quasi-feral when she moved in with me five years ago, and when she became very ill with hyperthyroidism and associated afflictions, I could not face subjecting her to the stress of an animal hospital, not to mention that of riding in a car. I contacted Dr. Burnside and she and her assistant have made an enormous difference to Ms. Peach's care. I can't honestly say that Ms. Peach runs into the room purring when Dr. Burnside comes to the door, but I can say that when the examinations and treatments are complete, she doesn't flee the room, either. She is treated with kindness, patience, and most of all quiet words that bring a calm atmosphere to the proceedings. Dr. Burnside has been conscientious in investigating the best course of treatment, in notifying me of lab results, and in assisting me to be a partner in my cat's care.

pawI cannot say enough about how happy I have been with the veterinary services I have received from Cats Love House Calls. Dr. Burnside and Charla both truly care about the health and well being of their feline friends. My senior cat, Tina the diva, is always very happy to see them, greets them enthusiastically upon their arrival, and purrs during her examination, even while being poked and prodded a little. It's wonderful to be able to have these services provided in the comfort of our own home and not have to listen to my very vocal girl yowl all the way to a clinic where she then has to wait her turn to see the vet. In addition, I very much appreciate their follow-up calls and the fact that I feel free to call or email them with any questions and concerns I might have any day of the week, knowing that I will always receive a quick and thoughtful response. Yes, it's true, cats really do love house calls and so do I. Thank you Dr. B and Charla, you're the best!
