They give you a kittent that is unspayed. They tell you that it is included in the cost of the $90.00 I payed. I took her to the vet and actually I have to pay $100.00 to pay for the anasthsia and over night costs. Dont forget I just paid $300.00 cause she was sick. But today is a new day and she is throwing herself at her ball right now and she is doing good. She wasnt littered trained either but last night she went in her box and this time covered her business. I am so proud of her. Thanks for the help

100 just for anasthesia and overnight? When I got my last one spayed the total cost was 55.00. That sounds like a lot of money.

I think cost depends on the area and the vet. My vet charges $88 for spays and with the overnight charge, pain meds, ect. the total came to about $150.

That is alot of money i dont know why the animals have to stay in the vets overnight as here in the uk aslong as the animal is well after coming round and drinks and eats a little they can go home the same day it costs here in the uk £50 to spay a Cat £35 to neuter a cat. Depending on the size of the dog It Can Cost Upto £90 to spay a bitch, And £50 to nueter a dog.

But i suppose different vets have different ways and different ideas my vet says most vets keep the animals overnight not just to make sure all is well but they can make more money by charging overnight stays.

I think they keep the females (dogs & cats) overnight because the spay is more invasive than a neuter....my males have always been able to come home the same day. The females that I've had done at low cost clinics or the SPCA were sent home the same day.

Vets usually keep them overnight b/c the owners can't deal with the animals when they are just waking up. They are still groggy and wobbly and a lot of people freak out. My vet lets me take them home the same day b/c I have had so many done.

With spay/neuter clinics usually they send the owned cats home the same day and keep the strays overnight to make sure they are okay.
