Below are reputable, low‑/no‑cost options that will spay a pregnant kitten and are all within about an hour of Salem, OR (listed roughly north‑to‑south). I have highlighted pricing, how pregnancy surcharges are handled, and how to book.

Tips for getting a date quickly

Transport & after‑care

• For a 3‑lb, 4‑month‑old kitten, use a hard‑sided carrier with a towel for warmth.
• Expect 12–24 hours of quiet recovery; keep her confined, no jumping/climbing, and monitor the incision twice daily.
• Provide a shallow litter tray (no clay clumping litter if possible – paper pellets are safer during healing).
• Pain meds come with the surgery at all the clinics above; follow the dosing sheet.

Can Asher House help?

Lee Asher’s sanctuary is based just south of Salem and runs a nationwide “Get Fixed with The Asher House” micro‑grant that pays for six pets’ surgeries each month. You can e‑mail with the cat’s story and a vet estimate to be considered; it’s not guaranteed, but worth a shot if finances are tight. www.theasherhouse.com

Quick next steps

• Decide which clinic fits your timing/cost needs.
• Collect vet records (if any) + assistance proof.
• Schedule online or by phone today – Salem-area slots disappear fast.
• While you wait, keep the kitten indoors and separated from un‑neutered males. Getting her spayed soon prevents complications for both mom and the unborn kittens and helps Oregon’s shelters, which are already full this kitten season. Good luck, and thank you for stepping up for her!
