Don’t know your area well but we’ve found that it’s worth driving away from the big city to see a vet that also does large animals. It’s a different culture and often you’ll get a much more reasonable assessment. Most small animal clinics are corporate owned (see Mars Corp for example) and have a strong profit mandate.
$6-$8k is insane for what is likely a simple orthopedic procedure. You may want to get her on an anti-inflammatory to ease any discomfort while you figure this out. Outdoor cats don’t typically live a full life….another consideration if you end up keeping her.
