Answer 1

Well sounds like she needs to go to the vet where i live if you have to put the cat down its 75 bucks and then to cremate it would be another 125 bucks. But you really need to bring her to the vet and see if she needs to be put down or if there is medication for her so you can have her in you life ALIVE a while longer.

Answer 2

Please have your parents take kitty to the vet for a checkup. Your kitty is older, but not old, if you understand what I mean. Many cats live well into their late teens and early 20s.

There could be several problems for her going outside the box, and can be as simple as you changing the type of litter and she doesn't like it. It can also be a medical problem. Many illness can be treated with medicines, a good diet and lots of tender loving care!

You say you have offered to pay, so let your parents know you will help with the expenses as you can and you will also help take care of her.

Please have your parents just have her checked by the vet before they make the final decision to euthanize her.

If you do have to euthanize her, the fees are generally calculated by their weight and if you want a private cremation. The crematorium where I had my Maybelle cremated offers private, semi-private and communal cremation. I chose semi-private for Maybelle and got her cremains back in a cardboard box and cost $60. They have many choices of urns and containers. I didn't want any of those and found a beautiful ceramic basket weave dish with a lid that I have for her cremains.

If money is a problem, there are agencies that can help with veterinary expenses. Here are a couple of links. Show them to your parents.

Purrs and prayers for you and your kitty.

You shouldn't have to put her down for that. Take her for a checkup to make sure she is healthy and not peeing outside the litter box as a way to get attention because something is wrong.

But to answer your question, I just lost my 17 y.o. and paid $120 to have her privately cremated. Her ashes came back double baggied inside a nice cedar box with a lock and key and certificate. This was in CA.

I had my cat cremated - It goes by weight. It cost $100. She was 6 lbs. They returned her ashes in a small wooden box with her name craved into the box.

Answer 6

The entire vet bill for me was about $200, with the vet bill, euthinization and other fees that apply. I would make some calls, unless there is a vet you trust and check pricing. Sorry to hear about your cat, I just put mine down recently.

Answer 7

It's sometimes part of the euthenization fee, other times it's a separate fee. Dial your vet and ask the technician at the front desk what they charge for that. The prices are standard and they can quote you right over the phone.

Answer 8

On average, about $120. You can sometimes save money by taking the body to the crematorium yourself. Then you pay them directly and save the mark up from the vet.
