In our locality the Humane Society will perform euthanasia for a donation, they don't have a set price. The vets locally charge up to $75 and then if they dispose of the animal another $50 or so. The Humane Society doesn't charge. I opted not to bring the cat home this time; it was very hard with the other and I found no reassurance knowing she was buried in the yard. I think his spirit has found his way back here anyway, I still tend to avoid trying to trip on him in the usual spots.
