I am being charged almost $400 for a spay and required shots for a 2 year old cat. I see lower cost services running around $75.00, but unfortunately they all take forever to get an appt. and this kitty has already had 2 litters and we just got her (she was a stray) when she was pregnant with her last litter. Her yowling and peeing in inappropriate spots was unbearable! I understand that the vet has salaries to pay and other overhead expenses but keeping the cat overnight for one night does not justify almost $150.00 extra based on the average prices I am seeing. I think $200 - 250.00 would have been more reasonable. A little greedy Old Canal? Save your money and wait for the lower cost services is what I learned from this experience. There is no difference in care, surgery is surgery, and shots are shots. One night overnight for "monitoring" is great, but the added expense in this case was not "worth it".
