First of all I'm new so hi everyone

I got a new kitten today, Ive kept cats before but when i was younger so obviously my parents dealt with all the important things

The kitten is 7 weeks old and hasn't had any jabs yet (i was always under the impression they were supposed to have one before leaving home?) just wondering when she needs to go to the vets for his jabs, and when i should have her wormed and de-flead etc..? When old enough she will be going outside

Also how much does the average vet charge for all of above? I'm in the Bristol area if that makes a difference or if anyone can suggest a good vets

Just wondering as well if its cheaper to people on benefits?

Thanks in advance

jabs at 9 and 12 weeks - normal cost around £50 for the two. Neutering arond 5-6 months - around another £50 for the spaying. Worm and deflea regulartily espceially if she is an outside cat. DOn't use bob martin - it's useless - make sure you use Drontal or Panacur (vet will advise) for worming and Advantage or FDrontline for defleaing (that's about every 5 weeks ish). Let her out once she has been spayed or you will end up with kittens. If you find a CPL or a PDSA they may help with costs.

I would definately ring your local PDSA & see how much their vaccs are as they are usually cheaper.

just having a read at the above forums and this is good advice for me to as getting a kitten in 2 weeks, so thank you!!

8-12 weeks I think

Neutering/spaying, comes when the cat is about 6 months +

It doesn't cost a huge amount for your cat to be de wormed, like someone else said something about £50.
