If we end up in NZ we'll be bringing furry critters along. I've bred and shown cats here (but not currently), and may introduce my beloved Chartreux (more photos) to NZ if we can afford to bring over enough cats for proper genetic diversity. (I've started calculating costs - yikes!) And with kitties come vet bills...

Does anyone know approximate big-city costs for spay/neuter operations, routine vaccinations, and microchipping?
