Hi:
Well...I realize it's not (really) your cat, but your DIL was obviously irresponsible not to have done the right thing, assuming that this is a typical housecat, rather than a showcat or breeder. It's good of your son to have taken the cat, rather than abandoning her to the whims of adoption, and even more good that you've taken her for however long.
I can see why you'd be reluctant to shell out, but IIRC, as Charlie said, the local no-kills and rescues, if not the SPCA, can point you in the direction of freebie/uber-cheap spaying. Your son would no doubt thank you for it, assuming, as I said earlier, she's not a breeding female?
I'll shut up now. Not my place to tell other folks what to do, but in case you weren't aware of the free/near-free options, I wanted to second Charlie's post. I've steered a number of people with kitten rescues (those too young to be neutered at the rescue) that way out here in AZ. It's an affordable solution to a huge problem.
