Cat Cremation in Melbourne

From Brunswick share-house cats with strong opinions to bayside cats who never left the window seat, Melbourne cats are family. The southerly change and the long winters mean most lived indoors, close to their people. We collect from apartments, terraces and suburban homes across metro Melbourne, gently and without fuss.

Call 0478 097 537 Same-day collection before 4pm. A quiet, unmarked arrival.

A gentler scale, the same rules

Cats get the full process, not a smaller version of it: stainless ID tag attached at collection, the number texted to you before we leave, a chamber verified empty before your cat enters it, and a two-person check on the tag before and after.

What changes is the scale and the touch. A smaller timber urn or scatter tube, a finer ink print if you request one at booking (whisker impressions come out beautifully), and a collection style suited to how cats lived: quiet, unhurried, wrapped in their own blanket.

We collect across Inner Melbourne, St Kilda, Richmond, Brunswick, Bayside and surrounds, from houses, apartments and every vet clinic in the area.

If your cat died at home

There is no rush. Move them somewhere cool on a soft towel, take the time you need, and call when you are ready. We talk you through everything on the phone.

If your cat is at the vet

Tell the clinic "Pet Farewell will collect". We coordinate directly, including with after-hours emergency clinics, and return ashes to the clinic or your door.

Keepsakes without a deadline

Only prints need deciding at booking. Urn upgrades, engraving and ash jewellery can wait months; many families come back when they are ready.

Cat cremation in Melbourne, answered.

How much does it cost to cremate a cat in Melbourne?

Cats sit in the lightest weight band, where the median advertised price for individual cremation across 22 Australian providers is $412, and the published range runs $190 to $1,980. Ours in Melbourne is $480 individual and $280 communal, with collection, the urn, the certificate and hand delivery inside both figures.

Is a cat cremated with the same process as a dog?

Identical process, scaled with care: the same stainless ID tag, the same two-person verification, the same one-animal-one-chamber rule. A cat is never grouped with other animals in an individual cremation.

How much ash comes back from a cat?

Usually around half a cup to a cup. It surprises some families how little it is, so we say it up front. The urn is sized for a cat, and a scatter tube is available if you plan to let them go somewhere they loved.

Do you collect cats from apartments and units in Melbourne?

Yes, a large share of our Melbourne cat collections are from units and apartments. One person comes up, quietly and without signage, and we handle lifts, stairs and building access without fuss.

My cat hated travel. Do they have to go in a carrier?

No carrier, no cage. Your cat travels wrapped in a soft blanket (yours if you wish, and it comes back) in a dedicated, refrigerated compartment. The stress they hated in life plays no part in this.

What does cat cremation cost in Melbourne?
