How do I get my cat frozen?

IcePop's Photo IcePop 29 Oct 2019

What are all the places that freeze cats and the costs and what other things like membership do I need to do for it?

Also, do any do payment plans and take payent after the pet is frozen? If not, what should I do, take out a credit card? How can I make the money for this ASAP? My cat is dying and I am low on money and time.

You can get your cat cryopreserved at CI or Alcor, but it is costly....at least a few thousand dollars (but likely a lot more), the last time I checked.

 

The only other option is a "straight freeze" (just preserve it in your freezer). This is the last hope for a person or pet. There will be a lot of freezing damage, which will theoretically make it harder to revive in the future, but at least there would be a tiny chance of revival. If you were storing your pet for a long time this way, you would eventually want it frozen down to liquid nitrogen temps. 

 

If you did a straight freeze, then you would have a little more time to save up money and make arrangements for long term storage/revival.

 

You might want to check Oregon Cryonics to see if they would do a chemical storage. This is a more damaging form of preservation but likely cheaper and easier.
