Gentle In-Home Cat Care in Portland
Portland is where Soulcat was born -- and where we bring our most compassionate care to kitties and their families every day.
Begin a Gentle ConversationFrom the tree-lined streets of Hawthorne to the quiet neighborhoods of Multnomah Village, Portland is a city that loves its cats. Soulcat was founded here because we believe every Portland kitty deserves a peaceful farewell in the home they know best — whether that is a cozy bungalow in Woodstock or a condo overlooking the Willamette.
As Portland’s only feline-exclusive end-of-life practice, we bring everything to your door. There are no car rides through rush-hour traffic on Powell or across the Hawthorne Bridge. Your kitty stays exactly where they feel safest, surrounded by the familiar scents and sounds of home. Our veterinarians, Dr. Mesher and Dr. Dillon, each carry more than 25 years of experience and a deep understanding of feline behavior.
We serve every corner of Portland — from the Pearl District to Foster-Powell, from St. Johns to Sellwood. Wherever your home is in this city, we will come to you with calm, unhurried care designed exclusively for cats. No dog scent, no clinical setting, just a gentle presence in your kitty’s favorite spot.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What areas of Portland do you serve?
- We serve all Portland neighborhoods, including the Pearl District, Hawthorne, Alberta, Woodstock, Multnomah Village, Foster-Powell, St. Johns, and everywhere in between. We also travel to surrounding communities throughout the greater Portland metro area.
- What does feline-exclusive mean?
- Feline-exclusive means our practice cares only for cats. Every piece of equipment, every instrument, and every blanket we bring into your home has never touched a dog. Cats have roughly 200 million scent receptors and can detect canine scent instantly -- removing that trigger is essential to keeping your kitty calm during their most vulnerable moments.
- How do I know when it is time?
- This is one of the most difficult questions a cat owner faces, and there is no single right answer. Signs that your kitty may be struggling include loss of appetite, hiding more than usual, difficulty breathing, or loss of interest in things they once enjoyed. A quality of life consultation can help you understand where your cat is on their journey and what options are available.
