Does anybody costs when your cat swallows a needle and thread?

im making a project of cat and my cat is supposed to swallow a needle and thread does anyone know how the operation will cost and what drugs she will need and how much it costs? Could it also need to follow up with the vet its a cat lol imagination. I have to act like I have a cat. i have to see if what happened to my cat how much it cost to take it to the vet.

This looks like a horrible assignment. If a cat has swallowed a needle and thread should be a veterinarian to remove it surgically. Since vet fees can vary from region to region you should call your local vets and find you to what extent surgery to remove a wire from the stomach of a cat would cost. I expect more than $ 1,000.00.
