    Recommendations appreciated.

    One of our cats, who is at least 13 years old (they said she was 2 when we adopted her from the city via a foster home, but we’re not so sure – she currently seems a little more elderly), is getting skinny and has a few other possible symptoms that we would like to ask a vet about.

    She has not been to a vet (or left the house for any reason) in a very long time – and we do not want to put her in a carrier and stress her out to drive her to one – it’s not an emergency, but we are starting to worry. So we’d like to have somebody visit.

    Before I start making cold calls, I wonder if the many wonderful animal experts here in the Forums can suggest someone, particularly one that might be especially good with a senior cat.

    Thanks

    Tracy, on behalf of Sweetie the tortie

    While I have not met her in person, we have good friends who worked with Dr. Anna Kihara for their senior cat and were extremely happy – they had her out a number of times and in the end she came out when they were ready to say goodbye. http://www.doctorannakihara.com/Kihara%20Veterinary%20Serives/Welcome%20.html

    In case you’re still looking, the vets at Lien do at least the Final House Call. Not sure about non-euthanasia, but they are so great that I thought I’d toss their name in.

    I second the recommendation for Dr. Anna Kihara. She came out and guided Spartacus on his way in the end. I didn’t know she did non-final visits though. Good to know. She was awesome!

    Dr. Mikel Oswalt 232 – 6205. She was recommended by Lien for us a couple of years ago and she was wonderful.

    Just FYI – Lien only does house calls for animals who are already clients and only for euthanasia. Elise Holt is based in Shoreline and does not take new clients in West Seattle – she is mostly acupuncture like me and most of the time is closed to new clients anywhere.

    I third dr. Aimee from city cat mobile vet. She is amazing. She was who I chose to help me release my 17 year old baby to peace. I do not have enough good things to say about her and her services.
