I recently took my sick cat to Conneaut Creek. I was impressed with their compassion and knowledge. But I was also impressed with the fact that they were realistic about his condition and not pushy with performing unnecessary, expensive diagnostics. I did end up taking my cat back to be euthanized and as odd as it sounds, it was the best experience I had ending a life. They premedicated him which helped him fall asleep. Then they shaved the fur away and found the vein for the other med. They did the injection in his back leg so I could hold his head and gently pet him as he took his last breath. They gave me some time alone with him but as soon as the tech heard I was getting ready to leave, she came into the exam room so Alt wasn't alone. The level of sincere compassion was impressive. I will definitely be bringing my other cats in.
