Can I put my cat to sleep at home?

Answer by  katharine (3981)

Only if a vet comes to your home and does it. You can't get the chemicals you would need to put your cat down otherwise. Technically you could kill your cat at home, but it could be considered animal cruelty and it is not very humane. Ask you vet if they will come to your home to do it.

Unfortunately there is no way to do this yourself, but most vets, for an additional fee, will come to your home and do this for you. Contact a local vet.

Not unless your vet makes house calls. Putting a cat to sleep involves prescription drugs and intravenous injections. This is not for the untrained. However, many vets will come to your house to make things less stressful for you and your cat.

I probably can home euthanize my cat, but I don't think that is legal. I might be able to find a vet who will come to my home.
