Yep, you're right. There are a lot of shelters that charge VERY reasonable prices for spaying/neutering. I was looking into microchipping at a few regular vets offices and it was anywhere from $125 - $300!! So I contacted an animal shelter in Manhattan (that is also affiliated with a Brooklyn shelter) and they only charge $35! So a lot of the time, regular vets charge a lot more money then rescues/shelters.
