What you could also do is have the vet come over to your home, and have your cat gorge itself on its favourite treats while the vet puts him down. It'll still be hard, but that way your cat doesn't have to die in a sterile office, and you can be with him till his very last moments.
Even if you have no choice but to bring him to the vet's office to put him down, please stay with him in his last moments. You're a good person, anon, I wish you all the strength in the world.
Letting go is the hardest thing one can do, precisely because we never want to stop loving.
