Do you charge extra to come to West Linn?

No. West Linn is within our regular service area and there is no additional travel fee. We visit West Linn families regularly and consider it a natural part of our greater Portland coverage.

What if my cat is hiding or anxious when you arrive?

This is very common, and our veterinarians are experienced with anxious and hiding cats. We take time to let your kitty acclimate -- sitting quietly, speaking softly, and letting them approach on their own terms. There is never any rush. If your cat prefers to stay hidden, we can work gently in that space rather than forcing them out.

Can I schedule a West Linn visit on weekends?

We do our best to accommodate scheduling needs, including weekends and evenings when possible. Please contact us to discuss availability. We understand that these moments do not follow a business-hours schedule, and we try to be as flexible as your family needs.

In-Home Feline End-of-Life Care in West Linn

Nestled above the Willamette, West Linn is a peaceful place to call home -- and the perfect setting for a gentle farewell.

Begin a Gentle Conversation

West Linn’s hillside homes, towering Douglas firs, and views of the Willamette and Tualatin rivers create a setting of natural beauty and quiet. For cats who have spent their lives watching birds from windows overlooking the Camassia Natural Area or napping in the sunlit rooms of a Robinwood home, there is no better place for a peaceful farewell than right where they are.

We make the drive from Portland to West Linn regularly, crossing the river to bring our feline-exclusive practice to your doorstep. The journey takes about 25 to 35 minutes, and we arrive without rushing — your veterinarian will have all the time needed to settle in and let your kitty feel comfortable. Whether you live in the Bolton neighborhood, along Rosemont Road, or near the historic Willamette area, we come to you.

West Linn families often value privacy and personal attention, and that is exactly what Soulcat provides. There is no waiting room, no other patients, no distractions. It is just your veterinarian, your family, and your kitty in the home they love. Every aspect of the visit — from the feline-only equipment to the unhurried pace — is designed to honor the bond you share.
