I have a 6 month old male Ragamuffin kitten who I believe needs to be neutered. The breeder said between 7 and 8 months, but he's getting awfully feisty! How much will it cost for this fellow to be neutered? Can his nails be clipped, as well?

Congratulations on the new kitten. The average neuter for a cat is around $140 which includes the anesthesia, neuter, and pain medications. A pre-anesthetic blood panel to check for congenital disease and IV fluids are optional for the younger animals, but are always recommended. That adds about another $160 for both together. Unless they are outdoor cats and need their claws for defense, we always trim the nails while they are asleep and is included with the surgery.

I do think they can clip the nails. As far as the neutering goes, I have never had that procedure done here but I will say they are *extremely* affordable otherwise and there's a high level of care. However, at the time of writing this, I don't believe they are taking new patients.
