When to Let Go

The death of a loved cat is an event we all fear, some cats do die quietly and painlessly at home, however for the majority of cats as the quality of their life deteriorates, they will need a helping hand from your vet.  The decision to put to sleep is never easy, but if they are in pain or their quality of life has deteriorated beyond an acceptable level or that treatment is not viable, the decision though very sad is made a little clearer knowing that your cat is not suffering any more.
