Cat vaccination question

[ItsReallyOnlyMe]

I have just acquired an indoor male adult rescue cat that has not been vaccinated.

I phoned our local vet where my last cat was registered for all of her 18 years. They quoted me the cost of initial plus second vaccines to be £109 (boosters are £50ish I think).

Jolley's Pet Store are offering to give these vaccines for £33 (or £89 for providing this plus boosters for the rest of his life).

What am I missing here ? Is there a reason I shouldn't have the vaccinations done at Jolley's and then register him at the local vet ?

Has anyone used Jolley's for minor treatments ?

That seems a bit to cheap. Have you looked at a vet health plan? My two are on one. (Both indoor) and it does work out cheaper. If I get a stockpile of flea stuff I send it to a rescue.

£89 seems too cheap too me. I pay £12.50 a month for vaccines, wormer and flea treatments plus a few discounts. I paid foe 1st vaccine as only get one free. If ive got right transaction I paid £42

Agree £89 seems very cheap

i'm paying £15 a month for a pet plan that includes appointment fees, both initial vaccinations and all flea and (additional when needed) worm tablets. It also includes microchipping and gives a discount on neutering and any treatment

i was told def worth it for the first year then review in later years

Just to report back in case this is useful to anyone.

I used Jolley's for my cat's one year's vaccinations. It was £30 for the initial and second jabs. They had run out of leukaemia (apparently due to a worldwide shortage). I decided against the £89 lifetime's supply to see what one visit was like.

I hadn't expected a vet's examination for that price, but this was also carried out. I also thought the vaccinations may be administered by a vet tech, but the person was a qualified vet.

So .. in summary.. I would recommend this - especially compared to the price charged at a vet's surgery where you are paying more for cost of their overheads: surgery costs, car park, receptionists etc.

There is also the disadvantage that appointments are limited to one afternoon a week. There is of course no nice waiting room, and you wait in line in the shop aisle but it is worth the ££ saving.
