I found a stray cat she has enlarged nipples and is being very affectionate. However she keeps hissing at my male cat. I'm wondering if she could be pregnant. How much does it cost roughly for her to have a check up at the Vets and to see if she is micro-chipped?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It does sound as though Lunar may be pregnant. Though hissing at your other cat may just be normal cat behavior when they don't know each other! I'm in the US so pricing maybe different and even in the US prices vary depending on location. An office visit is around $50. If she is pregnant they likely won't vaccinate her. Vaccines are around $25-$35 each and cats usually get 3 (with boosters). They won't charge to scan her for a microchip. Deworming is cheap, maybe $20. If you want to test her for feline leukemia and feline aids that may be $50. All in US dollars. Hope this helps!
