We have done some calling about and are finding the cost to euthanize and cremate extremely prohibitive on our incomes. What alternatives do we have here in The Villages?
So sorry to hear of your cats health and understand what you are going through. Our beloved dog Katie, 17 1/2yrs old, had recently gotten to the point where we knew it was time. We took her to Paws Animal Hospital on March 28th to be euthanized and they also arranged for cremation. I have to say that I was very impressed with how they handled the whole situation by showing concern for our dog and us. She came home yesterday in a very nice little cedar box with her name engraved on it along with a certificate of cremation. This all cost us less than $300.

Best wishes.
