Our adoption fee at our county shelter is $20 for cats and $40 for dogs.
No shots are given there. If they suspect rabies, they test. You do get a coupon to go to local vet for "free exam".

$60 is the LOWEST I have ever seen the fee for a cat!

When we adopted Archy & Binky from a rescue organization, we paid a $60 fee for each one, but since they were quite young, they weren't neutered, and we could have gotten a reduced fee for the neutering when they were ready.

What we did (since we were so enthralled with them) was to donate the neutering fee back to the shelter, but we got them fixed at our vet's, which was 3 blocks from our house! We couldn't stand the idea of leaving them in a strange place far away from home the night before and not be able to pick them up until the day after (that's how the vets did it who were affiliated with the rescue).

So we dropped them off in the morning and got them back in the late afternoon. The rescue was happy to get the extra money, which they could put to good use, and we were happy to have our boys home quickly!
