What if I can't afford to euthanise my cat?

If cost is a barrier, start by being honest with your vet about your financial limits.

Ask whether they offer payment plans, reduced‑fee options, or referrals to charities that may assist. Some animal welfare groups, local shelters, or rescue organisations have funds for end‑of‑life care in genuine hardship cases.

You can also explore community fundraising with family or friends if time allows.

Avoid delaying the decision if your cat is clearly suffering; explain the situation clearly and ask what compassionate options exist.

While money adds stress at an already painful time, many professionals and organisations want to prevent prolonged distress for animals.

At pawssum vets we offer different options for payments, talk to our team today.
