    As far as finding a "good" vet, the best way is to get referrals from family and friends.

    As for as cost - it could range from something like $40 to $400. It depends upon the vet and how much pre-surgical testing they want to do to, as they put it ". . . make sure the cat is healthy enough to be spayed."

    We had a female spayed for $85 dollars about 6 months ago - $45 dollars for the surgery and $40 for some basic blood work. She was a feral kitten we were still working on to tame and the only blood work we had done so far was tests for the "nasty things" such as FIP or leukemia, before we allowed her any contact with our other cats.

    We had the vet do the additional testing to use as as base data for comparisons to other blood work done later. The vet would have spayed her for only $45, they did not require the testing.

    There are low cost spay procedures available, you just have to look around.

    Do a Google search on: "low cost" spay OR neuter cat city state

    Put the double quotes around the words low cost, put the OR In upper case like I show it and, replace city and state with your city or state or the city and state of cities or towns near you.

    You should find local organizations who provide low cost spay procedures. You may be surprised to learn how many are around.

    Get the yellow pages telephone directory. Look under animal shelters, animal clinics, animal hospitals, humane societies, vets - start calling and tell them you need to find a spay you can afford.

    Be ready for the calls, write down what you are going to say:

    "I have a female cat who needs to be spayed but I don't have much money to spend on it. Can you help me with a low cost spay or can you tell me someone who can?'

    Grab the white pages, look under Humane Society. Call them and ask if they have a program called SNIP - Spay, Neuter Initiative Program

    They have that program here, in St. Louis, MO, and they may have it where you are. You have to ask for it, it will not be on their voice prompt telephone system.

    Look under ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and call them. Look under APA (Animal Protective Association) and call them.

    If you are in the UK, look for the RSPCA. There is a UK charity vet medical organization named PDSA http://www.pdsa.org.uk/

    Beat the bushes for a low cost spay operation - they are out there.

    I would call SPCA or your local shelter and ask for a good vet in your area. Costs are different everywhere but I would say around $100 cat must be up to date on shots

    i might actual think of so! call an lawyer. of direction, she has to elect what it is she needs from this occasion. Is funds going to make all of it greater advantageous? probable not. according to danger there's a licensing board for the vet the place she will placed up a criticism because it became negligent. solid success.
