Heartworm prevention is recommended, and may cost up to $40. The cat should also be checked out by a vet, to make sure there are no problems; the vet bills may be between $50 (for a simple check up) to $300 for advanced tests, if these are needed.
To just have your typical yearly checkup done, it's not very expensive-all vets have a flat rate for this, and they'll tell you what it is on the phone if you call to ask. Mine charges $40 per cat for a checkup, $38 if you're coming in for a re-check or for a non-yearly checkup.You'll get charged whatever this is just for coming in, it's like the fee to reserve the half hour of the vet's time.ell my regular check up for my cats is $50.00 - $100.00 depending on what I want checked and what I need. for thyroid that may cost $200.00 or more but I am just guessing for my vet.
