My senior cat is suffering and I can't afford vet euthanasia. Help?

Question

My 17yr old cat has lost most of his weight in the past 2wks. I cannot afford to take to the vet to be put down. I know he is in pain and he doesn't eat anything. Is there anything I can give him to put him out of his misery? It hurts my heart to see him like this. Thank you, Jane. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am sorry that Mystic is so sick. Unfortunately there are no pain-free ways that you can perform euthanasia at home. I recommend calling your clinic, or the emergency clinic in your area. If you explain that Mystic is very sick and needs to be put down, but you don't have money for this, most clinics will euthanize at no cost so that the animals are not suffering. Try a few if the first clinic says no. You can also try a humane society. If you say that you know Mystic needs to be put down, and don't want a consult but he is suffering, they should be able to help you and Mystic.
