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.

Another Answer

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.

I think My cat was bitten by something poisonous is there anything I can do I don't have a lot of money?

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.
