And yes I have been quoted £75 for kitten vaccinations, that does not include anything else, just the vaccinations - perhaps I should "shop around" (if that's possible with vets?!)
definately shop around its only gonna cost me 50 squid for my full grown cat.....

Re: When to let a kitten outdoors?


Thanks everyone for your comments and help on this one, it really is interesting to hear the difference in vet prices. As someone mentioned above, of course there is no price on our beautiful cats' lives.

Do you give your cat/kitten the flu/enteritus AND leukaemia vaccinations? Or just flu/enteritus? It seems that it is the leukaemia one that is particularly pricey as a course of the other two is about £45 (including a kitten check) which is much more affordable. The leukaemia one is another £30 on top.

Thoughts again please

Re: When to let a kitten outdoors?


Leukaemia is only really necessary for cats that have access to the outdoors. All mine have Leukaemia for the first year and then flu/enteritis there on..

Re: When to let a kitten outdoors?


Well I decided to have them all done after all that, I decided that I simply couldn't be money concious when it comes to the life of our new kitty. He had the first one done today and the second one in 3 weeks time. Total cost £75, but hey, he is worth it
