I took my cat in several months ago to be de-clawed because she walks with all of her paws splayed, I was told the cost would be 250.00 (which is 130 dollars more than the vet in my hometown charges), since this was a necessity, and I liked the staff and the facilities, I agreed to have it done there. I brought my cat in, and was told that she'd have to have another examination on top of that to be sure she was healthy first, which totalled another 30 dollars, again, I paid, as I didn't think that was an unreasonable request (even though I believe that that should have been included in the price of the de-claw.) When I dropped my kitty off for her surgery, I signed all the forms, and then was told, as I was on my way to work that even though she had had her FeLV shot exactly one month ago, that to board her for the two days required I had to pay 40 MORE dollars for another FeLV booster and a fecal examination. At this point we are up to 335.00 for a bill that was supposed to be 250.
