I just called the vet's office to see what it would cost to get the stray male cat neutered.

$242.50 - the operation itself
$75.40 - new patient exam
$17.28 - Rabies vaccination
$79.78 - Test for Feline HIV

$410.02

Yikes!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I worked with the local feral feline group and got mine fix and rabies shot for $60 each.

I think I paid around 300, for my buggie a year ago, although now with so many groups around I would see if there is any where else that you could get some help.
low cost spay and nuter.

wow, i was thinking of getting a pet... but i don't think i can afford one

Check with the humane society or shelter. They will have the numbers of vets who offer low cost spay/neuter. Especially if he is a stray cat. I just had my baby girl spayed for $60. It is bare bones though. No shots, or labs or anything else. I do all of my own shots - except for the rabies - so I didn't need anything else.

I called Spay or Neuter Now and got my two stray kitties taken care of last year for 40 dollars each

I just had our male kitten neutered. $60 for operation, $10 for pain meds for a total of $70.

I would ask around, and call your local Humane Society to ask them about any spay/neuter services. That is just craziness. If I paid those kind of prices, I could never rescue animals. I just paid that much this morning to have a dog's broken leg set with special order pins.....

yep on my two kittens we paid almost $300.00 each. when it was time for mamma to go we weren't sure she would even stay with us or want to run the streets again. so we took her to planned pethood for $75.00. she was so scared of that place. much too noisy, even for me. never again.

We have a low cost spay/Nueutering here. When I found my stray as a throwaway baby, it cost me 40 dollars, overnight stay. No shots or any fancy stuff, just the operation itself.

Getting an animal at a no kill shelter is way out of line, should be more instruction in caring for the critter and less money to shell out to start with.
