I found a little kitty who is very nice, but is quickly entering puberty. I went to the local vet to get her fixed, but it turns out they want 250,000 won, which is horrifically expensive.
Does anyone know of a cheaper place to get a cat fixed? In America it's about $45 US, but sending a cat's uterus to America to get removed doesn't make sense for a variety of reasons.
Any suggestions?

That doesn't sound all that expensive to me. $45 US sounds like a normal price for having a male cat neutered, but not a female cat. Having a female cat neutered is major surgery. When my family had a female cat neutered, it cost about $300 US, and that was over 10 years ago.

Contact Sunnan Kum at the Korean Animal Protection Society. She helped me get this done for my 2 cats- the total price was 60,000W. EDIT- I also got all the cats shots done - I think this was also included in the 60k You might need a Korean person to help you call, but Sunnan DOES speak English.

Additionally you can buy all sorts of cat items from them that are sometimes difficult to get here.

Good luck to you!
