I would suggest she contacts the RSPCA centre she got the kitten from - chances are that this will be covered in her contract - it should state if they will pay for it, contribute towards it or if it is her responcibility. I know my dog was spayed by the RSPCA (after we adopted her - they would have kept her till after she'd been done but she was in season, suffered kennel stress and if they'd done her she'd have ripped the stitches by jumping up the sides of the kennel... ) That might just be because she was of breeding age when we adopted her - I don't know if it's different with kittens as frankly they volume they go through is SO huge! Although I'm sure your friend can afford a neutering if she's adopted the cat
Obviously she might have fallen on harder times since and it might be worth asking the vet if they will let her pay in installments (please also recommend to her to have insurance - if she is struggling to pay for a neutering (relatively low cost!) then what will she do in the case of an emergency?)

They are normal neutered vaccinated and chipped at a cost but reasonable price0

yes she can afford to have her done but im sure someone once has told me that if you get a cat or kitten from the RSPCA that they can help towords getting them done, just trying to help her save a few pounds if she canJune 22 wins -

That's one way of looking at it but bear in mind the RSPCA is a charity. If she can afford to pay for routine procedure such as neutering then she should so they can direct their funds to more needy cases and genuine emergencies.“You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”0 -

Thats not saving a few pounds, thats leeching charity funds you don't need & leaving other animals to go without at some point along the line:mad:0 -

Absolutely. This makes me so mad :mad:
What a different attitude to the poster on another thread when it was suggested she could use vouchers from CP:
I would rather not take the vouchers as they should be for people who really can't afford it and luckily Im in a position where I am able to put it on a card and pay next month.0 -
I am getting my cats protection cat neutered tomorrow.
I had planned to pay myself but I had to take him to the vets for dodgy tummy last week and ended up spending a fortune so sadly will now need to use the neutering voucher they gave me.
but I do agree in theory that if you can afford it you should pay yourself.
to make myself feel less guilty I have called round and booked with the cheapest vet in my area, instead of the one on my road that I usually go to as it is abit pricey.
oh as I am typing this I am feeling more and more guilty!!
I think I will donate the money back to them after xmas and my funds are abit better. - ok feel less bad now lol0 -

I'm on a low income, although I have savings (and pet insurance) for an emergency. I asked CP if I could make a regular donation instead of a one-off for Noah's adoption as obviously there are a lot of things to buy the first month, especially for an indoor cat. They were delighted, maybe you could do it the same way to spread the cost?You can GiftAid your donation so that they claim the tax back from the government.
