Kittens initial checkup, shots and spaying costs?
For a kitten that was obtained privately and has NOT had all the shots,
checkups and altering, what can one expect to pay to have that done.? If I adopt through a shelter I pay them $70-100 and the kitten as everything done or payed for already. So I was wondering about the cost for this alternative when adopted privately. Also, do the humane societies offer these initial shots and nuetering etc ? If so is it much less then the local vet? Any insight appreciated Thank you |

In short: variable. Keep in mind too that shelters tend to be publicly funded - either through taxpayer money or through public donations. I use Orange Vet Hospital, and the 4/1 shots are about $15 per hit, and office visits are about $30. They offer a clinic, too, where you can get the shots at cost. So about $60. Also, spay/neuter will tend to vary as well. We know of one facility down farther from our vet that will do $40 for males, and $80 for females. Your mileage, as always, may vary. -- Dennis Carr - | I may be out of my mind, http://www.dennis.furtopia.org | But I have more fun that way. ------------------------------------+------------------------------- |
