Adoption Fees

Why adopt from Spay and Stay?

Adopting from us is a cost-effective choice. Our cats and kittens come fully vetted—spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and health-checked—at a heavily discounted adoption fee, saving you hundreds compared to vetting independently.

In contrast, if you choose to adopt a cat that hasn't undergone veterinary care, you'll be responsible for these expenses out-of-pocket. Here's a breakdown of the average costs for essential vetting services in Illinois:

1. Spay/Neuter:  Average price in IL is about $200-300
2. Vaccines:  Average price is about $50 - 100 for one or more vaccines.
3. Microchipping: Average price is about $35
4. Deworming:  Average price is about $20 - 60
5. Routine Vet Exam (required with the above services):  Average price is about $90 - 190 (more for a new patient).

These prices add up to $500 - 800+!  By adopting from us, you receive a fully vetted pet at a fraction of these costs, ensuring both your peace of mind and financial savings.
