£5 NEUTERING.

[lisa77]

Thats good. Leo needs to be done next month... Ive gotta have his mole removed too.. all before redundancy in Jan !

[Ela]

No I live in oxfordshire. I thought it was the norm until I meet other people who said they got it cheaper

.

I think even now I would just phone the vet up and ask how much it is for a cat neuter and spay. Although I appreciate the spay may have been mid-line it should not have cost that much.

[Ela]

£120 and my male cost £95

Just for the spay & neuter, where do you live Knightsbridge? Perhaps they used gold thread. 

[Desley (booktigger)]

Blimey Kelly, that is incredibly expensive, I would be ringing round vets in that case!! mine are £43 for a female, and £32.90 for a male.

[kelly-joy]

Well get ready when I had my birman spayed a 2 years ago it cost my £120 and my male cost £95 so I think when I go to have my two babies done next time I will be asking for cp voucher to as god knows what it costs now.

[Ela]

Or prefably not many as they have already been done.

You can dream I suppose

[Gail Bengal Slave]

In my vets it's £32 for a spey and about £25 for a neuter.

Lets hope this £5 brings in lots of un-neutered cat for their ops. Or prefably not many as they have already been done.

[Schmew]

Also used to get the kids in school calling it 'neuterated' 'neutralised' and 'neuted'. I'd like to think I'd put that right by the end of the sessions I used to do!

[Ela]

Ela don't you mean 'getting it spaded'

You are quite right, spayded and nutted seem popular names for the 'deed' 

[Schmew]

Ela don't you mean 'getting it spaded'?! 

[ccmacey]

Ela you have put a quote from a different topic on here lol.

No I don't think so, so maybe should be called stop your cat reproducing vouchers.

[Ela]

I'm obviously being really dim today .... log onto what? and see users list ... where?

  I mean

Maybe neutering should be changed to "castrate

Would they know what a spay was?

[ccmacey]

Taking another persons cat to the vet (because she was too scared to handle him) on my return I asked her if she would be getting him neutered and was asked "whats that, getting the jabs?"

Maybe neutering should be changed to "castrate" as some people just don't know what a vet is never mind vet speak.

This is something that should be taken into consideration when bringing a cat into the home, you should be able to pay the cost of your cats neuter, its not something that might arise- it defiantly will.

I do know curcumstances change and there are many over priced area's out there.

Thank goodness for the CP. 

[Ela]

I have posted it a few times before however, I appreciate that new members are coming on all the time.

I would also hope that if people can afford the neuters they will pay and not apply for the vouchers just because they can.

Thanks for posting that Ela cos I am sure it will help some of our members here

The  advice for vouchers all branches received:-

Neutering is the only effective way we have of restricting the number of unplanned kittens being born - becoming the unwanted cats of tomorrow. While it is always a better use of our limited resources to neuter a single female than to foster, feed, treat, care and find good homes for its offspring, please use your experience and judgment when issuing these vouchers.

1.    These Yellow (variable value) Vouchers are to be used in place of cash or the Branch veterinary account for most of our neutering work.

2.    Please always use them to cover the full agreed cost of neutering all the cats which pass through CP Branch and Foster care.

3.    Issue them for kittens that are re-homed before being neutered and for adult cats that are homed intact for any reason.

4.    Use them when assisting with feral colonies and multi-cat dwellings (in these cases two vouchers can be used for the whole group; simply enter the number of male and female cats involved and the total cost in the value box). If your Branch does not have the funds to cover the cost of these group neutering situations, then prior to committing to help, please call the Campaigns Department for advice and approval of spend (we have a limited central budget to assist with this work).

3.    Yellow Vouchers should also be used for Branch neutering campaigns where you wish to fund more than the standard Pink and Blue Voucher values. Please do not print your own.

6.    These Yellow Vouchers should also now be used by Branches which in the past subsidised or topped-up Pink and Blue Vouchers, or paid for operations on privately-owned cats directly via the Branch veterinary account or locally produced vouchers.

7.      Eligibility. Yellow Vouchers may be issued to anyone in genuine need of our financial assistance, this includes students, anyone in receipt of means-tested benefits and those reliant on pensions or low wages. However, if, in your opinion, the cat would not be neutered if we did not help, then please do issue a voucher. They may also be used to assist other reputable feline welfare groups (should the need arise). Our only priority is to reduce the population of unplanned, unwanted and abandoned cats in the UK.
There is of course the normal Blue neuter vouchers value  £20 and the Pink spay vouchers value £26.

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

What are yellow vouchers please?

[Ela]

 

Thanks Ela, but I doubt the service extends to Rome, Italy

Not quite, as previously posted it is in the UK

[dolcetta46]

Wish there were services like this in my area, too!!

The normal £26 spay and £20 neuter vouchers are available throughout the UK at all times. In cases where a person cannot afford the balance that too can be covered with new yellow vouchers.

[Millys Mum]

That is a great service if performed by a dependable specialist

No need to worry, its not Ela doing the ops

£75!! Were they stitched with gold thread!

Thats great Ela, lets hope they all turn up.

[Sabrina (Auferstehen)]

That’s great news!

Well, that folks will hopefully get their cats neutered.

Though I didn’t mind paying the £75 a piece for my girls to be spayed I understand that not everyone can afford that

[Ela]

Today we have our first advert in the local paper for neuters/spays for £5. We will have 4 more weekly adverts. (Although every week we advertise the normal vouchers). Today so far I have received calls for 26 £5 vouchers. Lets hope the phone keeps ringing.
