Answer 1

Some places make you wait until 5-6 months, but a few will let you spay or neuter at three months. My kitten is three months old and I'm getting him neutered this Friday.

I don't know if your kitten already got any shots, but she should have gotten a combo shot at 8 weeks. Find out if she did. If she has worms, it'll cost about $20 for the treatment. The combo shot might cost $40, and the rabies shot that she should get very soon will be about $20. Call the place you're taking her to get her spayed and ask them what age she has to be. The sooner the better, because younger cats can weather the anesthesia and stress a lot better.

I live in Houston, TX, so the prices I said might be a lot lower than what you'll pay, but you might also be able to find some low-cost places. Go to a pet store like petsmart or petco and ask people who go there and people who work there what vets they recommend. (don't use the vets at petsmart. they're very expensive)...

She's not covered by Medicaid. When you contact the ASPCA, ask about low cost vaccinations.  

Answer 3

As for the cost of the medical care, that really depends on where you live, and I'm really not familiar with the costs in NYC.  You should call around to different vet offices and ask your questions.  Also, animal shelters sometimes do low-cost procedures, and even if they don't, they may have knowledge of where you can get things done without spending an arm and a leg.  

As for the cat being an indoor cat, that's great!  The life expectancy of indoor cats is so much longer than for cats that are outdoors.  But one thing you should know -- being an indoor cat doesn't make your cat immune to diseases.  An indoor cat needs vaccinations, too.  Think about it -- every time you walk into your apartment from outside, you're bringing all kinds of germs and parasites with you -- so you'll be exposing your cat to all of the things she would be exposed to if she was outside.  So PLEASE don't ignore her need for vaccinations.

Answer 4

Spay your cat if you want her having kittens.

spay or nuter your pet please.
