6 year old female cat never been to vet. What to expect?

My sister decided she wanted a cat long time ago, and she's incredibly irresponsible, as my parents are, for letting her have a cat which she never really took care of. I had to take care of her and feed her everyday since my sister got bored of her. Now, 6 years later I have finally convinced my mom to take her to the vet to spay her, since she has had kittens several times, and I will pay part of it. The vet told us it'd be around 180 €. However, I want to know how much will he make us pay for a check/vaccines she has never had, since she has never been to the vet before. She looks healthy and she's a "wild" cat (she is always outside, in front of our house there's a park where she hangs out at, and she even kills pigeons/rats for food/or just to play), but I know the vet will want to put her the vaccines she needs. Could someone round up how much might that be? Thank you all!

Where are you living? I live in Germany and the first basic injections cost about € 30 to € 40. But these have to be repeated 4 weeks later. Depending where you live rabies shots may also be advisable. € 180 for spaying seems quite expensive - at least in my area. 

Don't be ashamed to talk to the vet - it isn't your fault that the cat's been neglected. And don't let him or her make you feel guilty.

Nice to see that you are taking responsibility for this rather unfortunate animal.
