At the moment in coventry there is a bit of a price war. Castration is £17 and chipping £7 so no excuse why we will be overrun with kittens next year!

(you'd be cheaper coming to coventry, staying in a hotel overnight - or even making a weekend out of it!)

Our feral mob are done on a CP neutering voucher its the other booster, ID Chip, Program, de worm and anything else that makes up the £150 average we pay on top of the neutering voucher!

Just to add I get all the trapped cats ID Chipped back to me just in case one is killed should they venture back towards the road, all the other stuff is just for me to feel that they will stand a better chance with all the good stuff done

It cost £30 something when I had Harry done at my vets (although this was years ago now as he's 4 soon) so yes thats a ridiculous amount!  :shocked:

When Sooty was done it cost me £146 that was just for Neuturing & bloods! Think i was also Conned aswell! They said he needed bloods as he has sore gums whatever next. I changed vets after that x

That is really expensive. My vet has some outragious prices, but cat castration is only £37.92. Microchip is £24.80 or £20 when done with vaccination/neutering.

That sounds outrageously expensive.  I know that in some places (USA for one) it's  more common to blood test kittens, but I dont think it's necessary and your friend should at least have been asked if she wanted that doing.

I think she's been robbed! Young, outwardly healthy, kittens shouldn't need blood testing before the op. 

When the boys were neutered Riley had the blood tests but Lu didn't as Riley was being tested for his 'heart issues' (aka overexcited play with da bird!) so was also having an X-ray while he was under.

seems like bloods were done, she said


i had the choice to do or not do, but the things they were saying made me feel i should


this is the same vets where the nurse said if the kittens bite she should bite them on the ear, new vet I think!!

Did she go for blood tests prior to the neutering? If not I can't believe that two male ops plus chipping cost that much - that's extortion!  :Crazy:

My vets are quite expensive and it's £50 each for neutering and £20 each for chipping so £140 in total.
