The cost to neuter a cat varies depending on factors such as location, the cat's gender, and the type of clinic or veterinary practice. Here is a summary of typical costs:
- In the United States, the average cost to neuter a male cat ranges from about $200 to $300, while spaying a female cat tends to be more expensive, averaging around $300 to $400 due to the more invasive nature of the surgery
- Low-cost clinics or animal shelters may offer neutering for less than $100, sometimes as low as $25 to $150 for neutering male cats, but these may not include all pre- and post-operative care
- In the UK, the average cost to neuter a male cat is approximately £104, while spaying a female cat averages about £149. Prices vary by region, with London generally having higher costs (around £129 for males and £175 for females)
- Some nonprofit organizations offer significantly reduced rates, for example, $35 for male cats and $45 for females at certain clinics in the US, making neutering more affordable for low-income pet owners
Overall, neutering a male cat usually costs between $25 and $300 (or £70 to £130 in the UK), while spaying a female cat is more expensive, typically ranging from $150 to $400 (or £85 to £175 in the UK). Additional costs may apply if the cat has health issues or is pregnant at the time of surgery
