I just got a cat from the RSPCA $110. People are still telling me i am stupid for paying that for a cat. When i sit down and explain that it costs over that to get a female desexed they dont believe me. Ask them to call their local hospital and ask them how much it would cost for a woman to have a hysterectomy there. I doubt you will get any estimate of less than $10K. A spay is an identical procedure to a hysterectomy, maybe even a little more complicated due to the shape of the uterus in dogs & cats - but costs less than 1% as much. Makes you think, huh? But then, I gather you know all this all already and it's just your friends that need convincing :-). Oh - and congrats on your new kitty, too! Dianne |

I see so many people come to the shelter and experience "sticker shock", when they learn that adopting a dog costs $65 for males and $75 for females--which pays for their neutering/spay. Yes, that's a lot of money for most folks around here, but it's merely the beginning, the tip of the iceberg. That is, if one provides proper care after the adoption. In NEW YORK CITY you pay about $150 for a rescue dog. That's cheap since it costs $400 for the neutering. |

How will she "feel" after surgery? Will she even make it through surgery? How long will she live and with what quality if she has the surgery? She won't know the difference if she is euthanized compared to anaesthetized. I think the consensus is to euthanize with dignity. |
