Some vets offer low cost spay/neuter. Ellie's does. Maybe you could find one of those?

I wouldn't do it because I am comfortable with Ellie's vet and won't risk her safety. Preop bloodwork should be done. Surgery should be done on a heated surface. All animals should have an IV. Monitoring equipment must be available. Pain meds must be available. The vet should be experienced and not just have gotten out of vet school. They shouldn't be allowed to stay overnight unattended. There are very few low cost clinics who would do all these things, so I couldn't do it.
