We have a cat that needs fluids under the skin. Can you help us? Yes. We can administer subcutaneous fluids for your cat. Also, if you are interested in eventually doing this yourself, we’ll work with you until you feel comfortable doing it alone. Do you keep our cat at your home? Or in a facility? No. Whimsy Cats cares for your cat in your home, with the belief that it is less stressful-especially for a cat with medical concerns-for your cat to stay in a familiar environment. What happens if there is a medical emergency while we are away? We will pursue medical care through your Veterinarian or approved emergency facility as per your instructions on the Veterinary Treatment Authorization form. Part of our initial consultation involves discussion concerning what actions you pre-approve in case of an emergency, and how and when you want to be contacted should such a situation arise. Our cat doesn’t have any medical problems. Can you still provide services? We are very pleased to be of service to all cats My cat can sometimes be very aggressive with strangers or when nervous. Are you still able to do home visits for us? We will work with you to help determine the best for your cat. If medications or fluids need to be administered we may be limited if there is significant risk of injury to your cat or us. If the services needed are fairly routine and non- medical in nature, then we’ll want at a minimum to have a visual confirmation of your cat’s status during each visit. This is where it will be helpful to know in advance where your kitty’s favorite hiding places are located. What is a ‘Mid-day Visit’? A ‘Mid-day Visit’ is a service we provide for our clients who don’t want their cats to be left alone for long periods of time during the day. Although independent in nature, cats can become lonely or bored without human companionship. You may have an aging cat or a cat with a medical condition that you’re concerned about leaving and just need occasional ‘well-being’ visits. Typically our clients chose one to three visits per week. We think there is something wrong with our cat. Can you tell us what to do? Whimsy Cats does not diagnose, nor do we prescribe treatment or medications. We will always refer you to your family Veterinarian for medical advice. Also, we will administer only those medications dispensed legally by and per the instructions of your Veterinarian. Only a qualified and licensed Veterinarian can examine, diagnose, and prescribe treatment for medical conditions in your cat. Our cat is having surgery next week and we are worried about leaving her home alone while we are at work. Can you stay with her for part of the day after she is released from the hospital? While our typical visit is around 30 minutes, you can schedule blocks of time with us during the day for situations such as this. For example, if you have an asthmatic, diabetic, or epileptic cat that has had a difficult week, or even a young kitten that should not be left alone for long periods of time, we can help. We can also give you phone updates during these time blocks. My cat goes outside for periods of time. Can you work this into your schedule? Our preference is that your cat stays indoors for any period of time that we are responsible for its care. Confining your cat’s activities to the security of your home is important in order for us to minimize the risk of accidents and kitty mischief, and to be assured of your cat’s wellbeing. . |
