Question

i have a sick cat... anytime she could be gone... i do not want to be careless or unloving...

Answer 1

well i just looked at what some people wrote, and i agree DON"T give it to your vet, i don't think they would turn it into food... but don't you want to keep him? have him cremated, thats what we did with our dog. now shes in our moms room and she will always be with us. if you give her to your vet youll never be with her again. and don't bury him either! first of all, I think it is illegal in most citys, (like mine, so we couldn't have buryed her even if we wanted to), plus, you might move. and buryed bodys decompose. i don't know how long it would take for a cat to fully decompose, but i'm sure there will only be bones left after about a year.
So get it cremated!!! you can keep it with you forever!!
-I'm so sorry about your loss ):

Answer 2

After my Grandpa died and my Grandma moved into a nursing home I adopted their cat. She ended up with lymphoma and passed away. My vet uses a service which does group cremation (yours as well as other people's pets) or a private cremation (just your pet) I chose the private cremation which was more expensive. (We had the same done for my dog, they generally price by the size of the animal a 50 lb dog and my cat who was very thin when she passed only had a price difference of $50) The staff at my vet's who I've become very close with have a confidence in the company they use. (It's actually about an hour from their facility but it's who they trust) When I got my Bianca back she came in a nice tin box with a certificate of cremation with the date and her name on it as well as the name of the facility and their condolences. All things considered I was very happy with the outcome given the circumstances. I bought a photo frame urn from PetSmart which is a cherry box that stands up with a side by side book like picture frames which I have two of Bianca's pictures in. I can keep her ashes in that, bury them, or possibly place them with my Grandma when she passes since it was her cat. There are many ways to memorialize your pet and you'll figure out what is best for you...

That's a personal decision.. If you own your home, you can bury the dog in your back yard. If you rent, and are likely to move, you might want to cremate so that you can take the ashes with you and maybe bury them when you do buy a house. Or if you don't want to be bothered at all, hand the body over to the vet. He'll still likely charge you for disposing of the body..

When my yellow lab died we lived in Georgia out in the country so we buried her next to our back yard pond because she loved to swim there. I live in Destin Florida now and it is not legal to bury dogs if you live in town because there is so much new development all the time and they don't want people digging up bones and stuff when trying to build stuff. Therefore most people get there animals cremated and they have the choice to get the ashes back or not. I personally prefer either cremation and having the ashes to do with as you wish or burying in a special place. However people who have many pets usually don't get ashes back because they don't want to have a cabnet full of urns and such. It just depends on where you live and how you feel about each.

Answer 5

you have lots of options these days. You can take her to your vet for cremation. You can choose to get her ashes back in an urn or not. You can bury at home. You can also contact a pet cemetary.
Sorry about your kitty.
Question...have you taken your kitty to the vet to find out what is wrong with her?
Your vet will be able to help you with all the arrangements, once the time comes, no matter what option you choose.

Answer 6

If your cat is that sick, and is dying, you should consider
putting her down so she does not suffer any more than
necessary. If you have a back yard you can bury her, or
the vet will cremate her and you can get her ashes back
or not it's up to you. I have always kept the ashes after.
I am so sorry to hear about your sick kitty.

Answer 7

I took my dogs to a pet cemetery because I knew that way someone would always care for their graves. They have markers with their names and the dates on them and I can visit them any time I want to. The down side to it was the one I chose to take them to was a little over 200 miles away but I felt better about losing them knowing their graves would be a memorial for them. We also buried our cat in our back yard under a tree but I have wished I had taken him to the cemetery also in case we ever move even though we do own our house and have lived there for almost 10 years. Sorry to hear your pet is sick and hope she will get better.

Answer 8

I think cremation is the best way to go, if everybody read what happens to our bodies when we are buried in caskets the sentiment about it would change inmediately, everybody would want to be cremated. I don't want my body to get spoiled , rotten and I don't want maggots and bacteria to eat me slowly until every part of my body is gone. I don't want that for my pets either. Cremation.

Answer 9

I have a dog that is getting up there in years and I have thought long and hard about this as well. I've decided to have him cremated and I'm going to scatter his ashes all the places dogs aren't allowed (outdoor parks, etc) so he can be places he's never been allowed to go before. I know it's hard to loose them and I hope whatever you decide makes you feel at peace. My thoughts are with you :)

Answer 10

In years interior the previous there replaced into no cremation, and then while cremation became obtainable the countless churches disapproved. yet these days with a turning out to be inhabitants and minimum area it rather is greater effective to cremate and the churches have replaced their stance in this.
