Help! My spayed cat won't keep her cone on. What should I do?

Question

My cat just got spayed today & came home with me but i dont know what to do. She wont keep her soft cone on & im scared of her licking open her wound but the way she tries to take off the cone is worrying me even more. Its 3 am & around 7 pm i called 2 different vets to see if they could keep her overnight but none of them would except if i paid over 300$. I dont know what to do ive been crying all night im so desperate. She stays still and sleeps for like 5 min & then wakes up to fight it off. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 years and 6 months old | 5.2 lbs

I would recommend taking the e-collar off and keep her in a closed room with you. most cats won't open the spay wound and in her case i think the cage and the collar are causing her too much stress. if you see that she is licking the area obsessively- put the collar back on.
