Cat Parents Rejoice: Why in-home visits are a win for Cats!

Does your cat hate the carrier, car rides, or the vet’s office? You’re not alone—most cats experience extreme stress when taken out of their home environment. That’s why more cat parents are choosing in-home care for everything from routine wellness checks to post-op recovery.

At Purpose Paws, we specialize in stress-free in-home cat care, so your feline friend stays calm, safe, and healthy—without the dreaded vet visit drama.

Why Cats Do Better With In-Home Care

No traumatic car rides – 80% of cats show signs of stress during transport.
Familiar environment – Less anxiety, no exposure to other animals’ smells/sounds.
More accurate health monitoring – Stress can mask symptoms at the vet.

In-Home Cat Services That Reduce Vet Visits

1. Wellness Checks in Your Living Room

Why drag your cat to the clinic when we can:
Check weight, hydration & coat condition
Monitor appetite & litter box habits (key for early disease detection)
Administer flea/tick prevention
Provide senior cat mobility assessments

📌 Perfect for: Routine health tracking between vet visits.

2. Post-Surgery Recovery Care

Cats heal best at home, but need monitoring for:
Incision checks (no licking/chewing)
Medication administration (pills, liquids, or injections)
Pain management & comfort (stress-free environment = faster healing)

When to visit the vet: Signs of infection (redness, swelling, pus).

3. In-Home Blood Pressure & Glucose Testing

  • Hypertension (common in older cats)

  • Diabetes management (no "stress hyperglycemia" skewing results)

4. Subcutaneous Fluids & Chronic Condition Care

If your cat has kidney disease, IBD, or other chronic issues, we can:
Administer sub-Q fluids (no stressful vet trips)
Give medications (even finicky cats tolerate them better at home)
Track symptoms (vomiting, appetite changes) to share with your vet

5. Palliative & End-of-Life Comfort Care

For terminally ill cats, we provide:
Pain management in their favorite spot
Compassionate monitoring (quality of life assessments)
Appetite encouragement (warming food, hand-feeding)

When In-Home Care Isn’t Enough
