The cost of cat surgery will vary depending on what kind of surgery your cat needs.
My cat recently had surgery to remove 3 cysts and it cost roughly $700. I think you should expect at the very least, anywhere from $500 to $1000. My cat needed to get a rabies shot before the Vet would operate. They also needed blood work done prior to surgery. So this postponed surgery for about a month.
Here's the full cost breakdown of my cat's cyst removal surgery:

- Examination - Wellness Feline = $57.85
