Taibei City Government reimburses owner $800 per neutered cat or dog and $1500 per spayed cat or dog. However, the owner must be a registered Taibei city resident. Your 戶籍 must be in Taibei City.
Some vets offer half price on lodging for a stray animal after you have her/him spayed/neutered. You have to ask your vet.
Pet stores do not offer discounts on lodging.
Before you bring in a stray to have spayed or neutered, the animal must be bathed, defleaed, and deticked. Again, your vet may offer you a discount as it is a stray.
The benefits of spaying and neutering your pet or strays far outnumber the negative.
