I haven't had a pet in a long time and my daughter found a cat. I told her we could keep the cat but she would have to get her spayed. I understand there are some shots and vaccines the vet wants to give her so that is added to the price. But, even with the shots and vaccine, this just seems crazy expensive. Is this an average price now?

For everyone's safety, meet in a public place and never send money to strangers to recover a pet. Verify anyone who claims a pet before arranging a meeting.
