I passed an animal shelter near here today with a sign outside advertising $20.00 spay/neuters. January 8 I am going to have my kitten spayed at a Veternarian for roughly$350.00. I am not trying to...
I'm going to guess that the spay/neuters at a shelter are done by a vet under same conditions as if you took them to a vet clinic yourself. When I have adopted from shelters (three times), the kittens were spayed and had their initial shots, all covered under a minor (~$60) adoption fee, all done by a local animal hospital. You can probably call and ask if there are restrictions, but I am guessing it is there way of trying to limit the number of stray animals.
