Cares Center in Lake Panasoffkee (about 25 min from here) does spay for $30 and neuter for $25. Shots are extra. They do surgeries on Tues and Fri. I have done TNR here but ended up keeping one and adopting another out. I can help TNR and feed but my wonderful husband is up to his neck in fur so I can't take any more cats if they are adoptable. I would be willing to TNR a cat if someone wants to pay the spay/neuter fee (as I am barely working now). As far as kittens, I will trap them if someone already has a home or shelter for them to go to as I can not take a chance on ending up with another.
I was doing this when I first moved here last summer and there were WONDERFUL people who helped me out financially and physically but then I started getting calls from people who wanted me to assume responsibility for cats and kittens who were adoptable and I just can't take any more in and I don't have the room to hold any while I find homes.
So bottom line, I will trap and help feed but I can't try to find homes for any adoptables.
Also, please keep in mind that if you are a renter, please don't feed a cat and then leave, unless it is very skinny and obviously not eating elsewhere. If it looks well fed, it is getting food somehow and if you start feeding it, you change its hunting pattern or where it is eating and then when you leave, its food source is gone.
