The simple answer is: You do not. A vet and qualified animal care authorities are the ONLY persons who are able to euthanize an animal in a painless and stress-free way, so take it to a vet or local animal shelter, but do not try to do anything by yourself. Many vets provide home visits if you are not comfortable in taking your cat to the vet practice. This allows the cat to die in the comfort of its own home.
Please bear in mind, anything you try to do yourself may only cause the animal suffering and pain, and that's hardly 'humanly' euthanizing is it? A vet can do this with NO suffering to the animals what so ever, its over in literally under a second or 2, and that's as it should be.

If you feel your cat needs to be euthanized due to a medical issue, a visit to the vet could save his/her life. Many health problems can be treated and curbed which adds months or even years onto a cat's life. If health is not the reason, then take your cat to a shelter. I'm sure they'll find someone who will accept him/her with love and open arms. Keeping your cat from living a happy healthy life that he/she deserves is inhumane in itself.
To euthanize a cat, the humane thing to do is take the cat to a vet. The veterinarian uses sodium pentanol and a barbiturate so the cat passes painlessly. Insulin will kill a cat, but the cat will needlessly suffer.
No, you cannot. However, if your cat is far too sick or cannot move, you can ask for a vet to visit the house and administer the injection there. Never attempt to euthanize the cat yourself, as you can easily cause much pain and suffering to the animal.
No, because mostly every form of the drug is combined with APAP, which will indeed kill the cat but WILL NOT end it's suffering. It's a slow painful death from kidney failure. NOT RECCOMENDED.
Benadryl is a medication intended for humans not animals. There is a risk of a slow and painful death if given to a cat or any other animal.
When looking for a shelter for a pet that you can no longer care for - it is best to specifically look for "No Kill Shelters." These shelters specialize in taking in pets and do not euthanize the animals if an immediate adoption is not possible.
depends on reason, if the cat is suffering with a deadly disease then yes it is illegal, the cat can be euthanized and the body can be tested then disposed of properly to cut down on the spread of the disease.
No, shelters don't use toxic gases to euthanize any animals. They usually give them a large dose of potassium, which stops the heart.
AH. I just seen my moms cat get put to sleep yesterday. They overdosed the cat on some type of barbituate. It was very sad to see.
yes, china been doin that since 1921,but until now euthanize is illegal, euthanize's executer will been accused as morder whatever the death agree or not
Your best option is to take your cat to your veterinarian and be honest immediately about exactly how much money you can afford to spend on your cat. If your cat was bitten by something poisonous and you can't afford to treat, the vet may be able to humanely euthanize your cat so it doesn't suffer an agonizing death.
Take it to the vet.
The local animal pound or SPCA will accept most cats. But animal control agencies may euthanize some collected animals in any case.
