What that entails |
Range of cost for service |
Why do it?
|
|
1.
Spay/neuter |
All cats have been neutered or spayed before
adoption. |
$15 - $60 neuter, $27 - $85 spay |
Spay/neuter helps reduce the number of unwanted
animals. |
|
2.
FeLV/FIV testing |
All adults have tested negative for feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus (FeLV & FIV). For kittens, we test either the queen or half the litter. |
$25 - $90 (and may take several days for results) |
Testing lets you know if you might have
potentially high vet bills later on due to these contagious, incurable and
fatal viruses. |
|
3.
Vaccinations |
All cats are current on their FVRCP (3-way) or
FVRCP-C (4-way) inoculations |
$25 - $75 per series (plus an “Office Visit” just for these basic shots) |
These are the minimum recommended “shots” for
indoor cats. |
|
4.
Deworming |
All cats have been dewormed for roundworms and
for tapeworms as needed |
Roundwormer $6 - $10
per dose Tapewormer $10 - $15 per dose |
Worms are very harmful to the health of your
pet. |
|
5.
“De-flea” |
All cats have been treated with Advantageä, Frontline™, Revolution™, or similar product |
$10 per month |
Fleas can carry tapeworm larvae, make cats itch,
and cause anemia in pets. |
Some cats may have received additional services such as: dental prophylaxis, microchipping, FeLV and/or rabies vaccine, partial digital amputation (declawing)*
* only if performed prior to our receipt of the animal.
