Answer 1

it depends between the vets, the best place to ask would be to ring them up and ask how much they charge.

Answer 2

Hi there,

The best thing you can do is call your local vet and ask. You don't have to already have a cat or be registered to get advice on this. In fact, it's better to ask before you get a cat or kitten, so that you are prepared!

They will also tell you when you need to get each thing done.

Prices vary a great deal from vet to vet and region to region, so there's no point me really giving you figures and amounts - but the first 6 months cost me around £100 for microchipping, neutering, injections and flea and worm treatment.

At my vet, it costs:
> £15 microchipping, done at any age
> £35 neutering; £50 spaying, done at 6 months
> £45 both courses of injections, done at 9 and 12/13 weeks; £25 booster injection annually after that
> £15 for 3 months of flea and worm treatment
> £25 for a consultation - the first checkup is free

You will also need Pet Insurance. I use Pet Plan and this costs from around £7 per month, per cat.

Have fun with your new kitty, if you decide to get one!

If you qualify for benefits then you are entitled to take your cat to your local RSPCA and register it there. Neutering there costs around £30, for a female its a little higher. If you have it done at the rspca, they will also micro-chip your cat free of charge, its done whilst they are under! Micro-chipping at other times is only £5! Vaccinations for the first time are around £25 then the boosters every year are £17.50. You'll need worming tablets at about £4-£5 ( supermarkets are just as good as the vets ones ) and flea treatment. Advantage is the best and costs £12 for four little tubes plus StayKill flea spray for your carpets etc is another £12. Hope that helps.

i found a site-its american-but it shows the stuff that you would need to buy/treatment costs etc for a cat would be the same as an english site. ....http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=1&cat=1838&articleid=1542

the first year would be the most expensive with all the jabs, bowls for the food, food, toys
then after that it would get a bit cheaper because theres only one set of booster jabs per year..a visit to the vet for a check up is around £30 and obviously a bit more for any treatment given

if you get what i would call an ordinary cat it would be cheaper than something posh like erm siamese or summit like that.

Neutering a cat will cost you around £30-£50. - the female cat would cost more to be done as there is more to it than getting the snip lie the lads get....http://www.oldhamcats.co.uk/Neutering.htm

you might want to look at health insurance - http://www.petinsuranceadvice.com/Animal%20Life%20Insurance%20Pages/Pet%20cat%20insurance%20.htm

its cheaper if you get a cat that goes out alot-one that wil go out to use the loo-would save a lot of money on cat litter.
for a pack of six tins of cat food its between £2.50 - £4.50
1 cat would probs eat about 2tins of meat per day at the most.

if you are on council tax and or housing benefit you can go to the PDSA-http://www.pdsa.org.uk/


http://www.cats.org.uk/ - cats protection league website-they can also help with neutering costs in certain situations where you cant afford to pay.

Answer 5

The costs vary a great deal from vet to vet. Some will price it as a package deal and others will charge for the anesthetic, the surgery and pain meds afterwards. Some insist on having blood tests first and all the shots, so you need to make an informed decision based on how you take care of your cat. Inside cats only need the basic shots.

Answer 6

It's about £35 for a tom and twice that for a queen but have a word with the local branch of the Cat's Protection League because sometimes they can contribute to the cost. If you have more than one cat needing done you can get away with being cheeky with the vet, I had two toms needing doing at the same time and asked for a "discount for two" and got it.

Answer 7

It varies between vets, and there are times of the year when vets have special offers on spaying.

Vouchers from the Cats Protection League come in handy, but you have to be on particular benefits to get one.

Males are cheaper to neuter than females, as the operation is shorter, less involved and less invasive.

Answer 8

Ist innoculations about £27, 2nd ( 3 weeks later ) about £27.
neutering for males from about £28 , females £38 upwards.
If you are unem,ployed and recieving benefits you can go to the PDSA and get it done cheaper or you can apply to the Cats protection league for vouchers towards the cost of neutering.

Answer 9

Have you tried calling a vet and asking what their prices are? Every vet is up front on standard costs like this and can do a quote right over the phone.

Answer 10

A male cat is approx £36.00 and a female about £48.00 the jabs vary but I believe in the region of £30.00. Hope this is some help!

Answer 11

It cost us about £35
