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 would never tell you because that is SO mean.

That's not what people are trying find out.If your cat is sick or you can't take care of it you may have to put it down.Since the vet will not do this with out price gouging ,you may end up doing it your self. I recommend snapping it's neck.It will be rendered unconscious, immediately and beats a slow and painful death.

If you can't take care of you pet and no one will take them; in you might want to consider releasing them into the wild where they belong.Given the alternative this is more humane.By the way cats and dogs are not humans so treating them humanely seems a bit absurd.

Take it to the Vet and have it put to sleep humanely. Or perhaps you could just have it adopted out.

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.


Where can you get your cat euthanized?

If the cat is very old or has an incurable disease and has to be euthanized then your vet or ASPCA or Animal Shelter will do this for you. If the cat has a health disorder that you just can't afford then discuss this with your vet first and perhaps work something out as most vets don't like to euthanize a pet unless they are extremely old or suffering.
