How do you kill a sick cat?

Answer 1

You can try animal welfare groups, although they may charge a fee for the service. You can also try dumping the animal at a shelter, although this is rather heartless and possibly not feasible.

I would suggest calling around to local veterinary clinics and explaining the situation - sick cat, unable to afford treatment, cat is suffering and you would like to euthanize for medical reasons. Some vet clinics will offer discount or free euthanasia service, particularly if you can legally dispose of the body afterwards. Other veterinarians may be willing to let you pay for the cost of euthanasia on a monthly installment plan (which may be emotionally painful, since every month you make another payment towards your cat's death).

The important thing is to call around and be honest about what you can afford - the euthanasia solution for a cat, particularly one that is not in good health, is not that much. The expensive part is placing an IV catheter, using a sedative and disposing of the body (which is classified as medical waste or a biohazard).

Whatever you do, don't leave the cat to suffer and don't try to euthanize yourself - it takes training to euthanize any animal with a minimum of pain or excitement.

Answer 2

The safest and most humane way is to take it to a veterinarian, who will put the cat to sleep painlessly and quickly. They can even take care of the corpse for you, or have the animal cremated for you and get the ashes to you, if you want.

Answer 3

You don't - it takes training to know how to properly euthanize any animal to minimize pain and suffering.

If you feel you can't afford the vet cost for euthanasia of an ill animal, call vet clinics and explain the situation - many veterinarians will offer discount or free euthanasia service for ill or injured animals, particularly if you can dispose of the body afterwards.

Answer 4

Take the cat to the VET and have the poor cat put down peacefully. Don't abuse it. If you cannot afford to pay for the cat to be put to sleep the Vet will do it for free rather than see the poor cat suffer. However, you must not try to end its life yourself. You can get arrested for animal cruelty and serve a good while behind bars.

Answer 5

The most humane thing you can do is take it to the vet to be put to sleep gently and painlessly.

Answer 6

The first and most important thing to do is to take your cat to the vet, the vet will be able to tell you exactly what is wrong and recommend the right treatment.

Answer 7

Ask a policeman to shoot on its head, after you be sure that it has no cure, told you by a veterinary.
