Can you ask for your cat to be put down?

Before your cat is put down, you’ll be asked to sign a consent form. The vet will then administer a drug that makes your cat lose consciousness. If your cat is stressed or aggressive, they may be given a sedative before the injection, to ensure their final moments are as stress-free as possible.

Your local animal shelter may be able to perform the procedure for as little as $100. At a full-service veterinary hospital, a euthanasia procedure may cost $500 or more, but this includes additional services like returning your pet’s ashes to you in a special wooden box.
