I'm really sorry to hear you're facing this difficult situation with your cat. It's so important to approach this with compassion and care, both for your beloved pet and for yourself.
Deciding if it might be time to say goodbye often involves considering your cat's quality of life. Some things to think about include whether they're still enjoying their favorite activities, eating and drinking well, or if they seem to be in pain. Common signs that might suggest serious concerns include persistent vomiting or diarrhea, severe weight loss, difficulty breathing, and withdrawal from interaction or affection.
At home, try to create a comfortable environment for your cat. Make sure their space is warm, quiet, and easily accessible, particularly if they have mobility issues. Offering gentle affection and maintaining a consistent feeding schedule can also provide comfort.
Keep an eye out for distress signals such as labored breathing, unresponsiveness, and signs of intense pain. If you notice these, it’s important to seek veterinary advice as they may indicate that your cat is suffering.
I understand this is a heart-wrenching decision, and it can help to talk it over with a professional who understands the intricacies of end-of-life care. I encourage you to book a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can talk through your cat's specific situation and provide guidance tailored to both you and your furry friend.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
