How Do I Dispose of a Dead Pet Cat?

Keep the animal's body cool while you are making final arrangements. Wrap the body and keep it on ice or in a refrigerator.

You can call your local veterinarian to schedule a necropsy if necessary to determine the cause of death.

Choose whether to bury the pet on your own property if local law allows. Otherwise, you may opt for cremation services provided by the cat's veterinarian or disposal through trash removal services.
