Hi

Im hoping somebody can help me, there was a wild cat in our garden which had several kittens approx 6 months ago, She was very wild and both her and the kittens hissed like mad and ran away if we went near them, anyway mum and some of the kittens have since moved on and 1 kitten a female was left. She has slightly tamed over the last few weeks and I think it may be possible to tame her. Last weekend several buck cats were calling so I think she may be coming into heat. Needless to say she has no shots and isn't neutered but I lost my job at the end of March and money is very tight but a friend has told me she thought it was possible to get reduced cost neutering as I am out of work, has anyone heard of this?

There is no government scheme for this.

But some vets may offer reduced prices for the unwaged.
But it's dependent on the vet. Make a phone calls and you'll soon find out who in your local area offers this.

usually if you contact your local spca or cat protection they will come out, trap the cat neuter it and release him back to you for a much reduced charge. well done to you for trying to sort out the problem. by the way the last time i took in a rescue kitten (from an spca) they gave me a voucher for reduced neutering, (unfortunately i never got to use it as the kitten got killed)
