Cat Urns??

Question

My baby, Mog died this morning. The vet has arranged for her to be cremated and us to have her ashes back in an urn. But I can't imagine that there will be a lot - she was half the weight of an normal adult cat anyway. So I'm curious to know what sort of urn it will be. Will it be sealed? Any helpful answers appreciated XXX

Answer 1

hi sweetie.Yes she when I had to have my dobie after a long fulll life of 15 years down,I had her cremated.I am so sorry for ur loss.Shadow came in a lil urn about 6-7 inches high and was made of a ceramic type material.And it was sealed.I had thought about replacing her and putting her into a nicer Urn.But I also thought I didnt want to lose any piece of her or disturb her.Plus I know I would only cry alot if I did.Shadows Urn and she was a beautiful dobie weighs about 3 pounds.They dont give u all the ash's from where I am from.It might be different in ur state and with ur vet.They gave me a beautiful memorial card and Death certificate.I am so sorry .But Now Mog is over the rainbow bridge and Is so happy.Trust me I honestly belive that.

I'm sorry to hear about Mog, sounds like a sweet cat. Animal urns can go from small containers that don't cost much. Up to the elaborate ones that are quite expensive. The crematorium will put her ashes in a small, attractive container that won't cost too much. And the container will be sealed as well. If you ever wanted to get another container, that you could to also. I hope this helps.

The type of urns vary from crematorium to crematorium, but it should be sealed. Some will let you pick a more decorative urn if you choose. When my dog died I wasn't in any shape to chose an urn, so he came back in a plastic rectangular small box with leaves emboss on top of it. My husband's dog came back in a sealed gold metal rectangle tin.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It will get easier.
There are urns specialized for cats. I just purchased a small "human" one that I thought was beautiful and was perfect size for my cat's ashes :( tied inside a velvet pouch. It is real marble in a beautiful design with pewter legs, and costed me only $180. I would look around for whatever catches your fancy. Some people even make their own. My sister found a beautiful vase/urn thing in a Ross that she placed her cat's ashes and some cat toys inside. Whatever fits you and your kitty.

Answer 5

I'm in central CA and my vet sent my kitty to a place in Valencia to be cremated privately. Her ashes came back (about a cup worth) double baggied inside a cedar box wth a lock and key, and a certificate.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Our Siamese came back to us in a box the size of an orange. There won't be much, it won't be 'ashes' it'll be bone fragments. Ours weren't sealed, just placed in a plastic bag inside a box.
