    Apparently the Irish Blue Cross are no longer funding this for welfare/low income owners. Does anybody know of any other scheme where people can avail of help with expenses?

    The Dogs trust has a scheme for those on means tested social welfare - it's €20 per dog for spaying/neutering. Ring your vet and ask about it. The scheme is being scaled back a little AFAIK so move quickly if you can.

    While we're on this subject, what is the average price to spay a cat?

    It comes down to where you go to get it done I know some vets who will charge anything up to €120.00 to spay a female cat

    alot of the local SPCA's give vouchers for money of spaying and neutering, we got a voucher for a 40euro spaying but it does have to be done with a paticular vet.

    PCros.... it's generally around 70euros to spay a female cat around here, think it's slightly less for a male... will get back to you next week when i book my 2 boys in to be done ;)

    Good choice. I go to Gary in there all the time and he's very good. He even did some acupuncture sessions on my cat to ease his back pain :D

    Yep thanks - scaled back is the operative word - NO more vouchers available, apparently:eek:
