shots  from 14 -45 depending on the area look for low cost  clinics   I paid
100 to have spirit my last one to get neutered but that included the visit
and the wake up shot; helps them come out of anesthia easier well worth it

But still good pictures!

She looks like a normal Domestic Short Haired (DSH) Tabby (or Tiger) kitten
to me!

As for the cost of Spaying, it varies by location.  In my area, it averages
about $45-55.  Low cost clinic nearby is the lowest at $45.  If you bring in
a feral (wild) cat in a live trap, it's only $25 (they want to get ferals
under control).  Of course, the insit that the pets have their shot for
rabies, which is an additional $8.

However, in higher populated areas, Chicago, Florida, Southern California,
for example, spay cost for a cat can run over $100 - I've seen some run up
to $200.

Best bet is to call vets in your area and compare prices.

I went to a low cost spay and neuter clinic called FIX-A-PET. I got
Zeitgeist neutered and had his rabies and other shots done for $45
total.

If she's a specific breed, her papers will say what it is.  Most cats
are no particular recognized breed but tend to resemble domestic short
hairs in the US.  A good term is "mogie" (of British origin) which
means "mongrel".  A large percentage of common cats are 50% passing
stranger and 50% unknown breed.

There are no run of the mill cats, only run of the mill owners.... ;-)
