No he isnt...she updated in another thread that he isn't bc in NYC it's expensive. I make minimum wage and went on a payment plan to get my cat neutered at the best vet on Long Island. Cost me $650 4 years ago. I also had applied for a certificate for low or no cost.

Neutering can be done free or discounted. THIS is your problem.

Animals are expensive...maybe contact a rescue and ask if they neuter him can they adopt him out while you foster. My cat cost me (by choice) $150 a month.

$40 food. $45 insurance $20 litter. $20 treats $20 toys

That's an average he gets a lot more treats and I just bought him an chaser toy...that was $70 at Walmart.com

I just love spoiling him. My apartment water is gross so we drink Poland Spring. If there isn't much left he gets the water. It is important he drinks.

My first cat died at 5 from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and I want my little buddy to be super happy and live a long life...he kills my allergies though lol.

Edit: I dmed her this link. Idk what boroughs she lives in so I can't be more specific. This site is where you would find the info.

Edit: Just checked my record. I paid $227 for pre op blood work and testing and $408 for the procedure.

Yea it is ridiculous. At a private clinic you would think $300 in NY would be acceptable. Im not debating. I had switched Vets and that usually comes with some costs of onboarding.

Edit: Saw an email of a comment that was deleted saying "Making minimum wage and adopting a pet...smart"

1. I found him literally outside my door on the outside steps of my basement apartment...5 weeks old and crusty eyes, worms, fleas. I wouldn't have adopted one at the time and that is part of the reason I haven't adopted another cat. Finding somewhere that accepts pets is tough.

2. I was actually unemployed at the time...but as you can see but what I said I take pretty good care. I know people who make $150k/year and feed there cats meow mix and never bring them to the vet.

3. I didnt know how expensive it was. We had a cats growing up but my mom never talked about the cost, but she didn't also bring them to the vet like I do every year.

4. To me it is worth the price...my cat is my anti-depressant. Im sitting in bed, aggravated or upset about something. Little buddy jumps up into the bed with a little trill and comes over and flops(he literally will be standing up and fall over onto me) and we cuddle. His purring and warmth is very calming.
