My cat is peeing blood and straining. What vet options are affordable?

Question

My cat is peeing blood and having difficulties urinating. She has no other visible symptoms. She eats and drink water like normal. Poops like normal. She isnt avting any different than usual. She's just peeing on my things sometimes (barely any pee as she cant really pee) and peeing blood. I would takr her to the vet but with only 200 dollars I'm not sure what tests they'd run given the symptoms and am scared it'd be more than $200. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 2 years and 8 months old

Have her seen by your veterinarian. You can request conservative treatment and your veterinarian may prescribe a broad spectrum antibiotic for a presumed urinary tract infection without performing recommended diagnostics (urine culture, urinalysis, abdominal xrays, blood work). It may help, however the risk is that the bloody urine may not be caused by "simple" infection. Other possibilities are inflammation, tumor or stones. If Luna should become completely obstructed, this will turn into an emergency and potentially life threatening condition.
