I had to have my very sick cat put down this past weekend. I had adopted her from the Humane Society three months earlier, but they were rude and completely lacked sincerity for my situation and my ordinary vet's office was closed for the weekend. Not wanting my cat to suffer through the weekend, I called Northwind Animal Hospital just a few minutes before they were closing for the day. Without hesitation, they told me to come in and they would euthanize her that day. I am so touched by their compassion, both for the wellbeing of my cat (who they never saw as a patient) and for my own feelings and safety (requesting that I drive safe getting there and leaving, knowing how distraught I was). Instead of rushing me through the process so they could close the office, Dr. Triplet set aside time to ask questions to be sure I was making the right decision and she was very gentle with Mo in the last few moments of her life. If I decide to adopt again, I will absolutely use Northwind Animal Hospital. I cannot thank the Dr. and staff enough. They made the process of letting go just a little easier.
