As a followup, most vets in our area charge between $70-$125 for the same as
above.  However, they do not have volunteer staff members who help to keep
costs down nor do they receive grants targeting their low income customers.
None of that $$ includes flea control products, wormers, or any medications
like ear mite remedies that might be necessary for a new cat.

Please do remember that your cat will need an ongoing relationship with a
vet for their whole life, not just one initial visit.  Many people prefer to
establish that relationship as early as possible with the vet who will
provide lifetime care for the animal. Remember, kittens need booster shots,
and even when the cat is an adult they'll need annual checkups and vaccines.
Costs for care do vary, but you want to be sure you're comfortable with the
care that your pet will receive at whatever vet's office.  One of the
benefits of establishing a vet/client relationship early on is that if you
ever need help with something expensive your cat may need done, your vet has
a history of you choosing him, and is more likely to work with you on a
payment schedule or or other measures.
