We unfortunately had to put our 18 year old cat down a few weeks ago. It was an agonizing decision. I have had my cat since she was 6 weeks old.
We called Cumming Veterinary Clinic to come to our home and perform the euthanasia. We felt that this was a more humane way to conduct this process (the cat would be in familiar surroundings).
They did not warn us how traumatic and painful this would be to be part of. They told me when I made the arrangements that they would give her a sedative to calm her but that was not the case. My last memories of my beloved cat are her trying to get away from the vet and howling. If you can’t handle watching your pet in pain I strongly suggest that you think many times before participating in this process.
If this was not traumatic enough, I called the vet (it was 4 days later) to ask about obtaining her ashes (the vet took her body with them) and was told to call crematory to find out more information (which had no record of our cat). When I called the vet, they discovered her body was still in the back room in the freezer.
After crying for 4 days, it was heartbreaking to call and find out our pet has been forgotten in a freezer for several days. If you love your pet, do not take him or her to this vet.
