I know how you feel I worried about my 3 girls too when the time came although 2 of them were done at the same time. She will be fine. Try not to worry it's rare for something to go wrong. I know you are thinking about that one rare occasion but they will be fine. Just remember this is something that has to be done to insure her a better life. You are doing what's best for her and thinking about that should help to make you feel somewhat better.
I have never heard of a cat dying from being spayed/neutered. You shouldn't worry at all! I have had many cats and most of them have been spayed or neutered and they come back like new! She won't be freaking out (maybe a little bit since she'll be away from her owner!) but they will give her a sedative so she won't feel a thing. When she wakes up from it she will be a little woozy but by the time she is back home with you, she will be as good as new. The vets usually keep an animal overnight if they are showing symptoms of anything. Need not worry though! All you'll have is a kitten-free kitty with a shaved underbelly =)
That is nothing to worry about, it is done all the time. When my kitty got spayed, she was still drugged up. I had my friend go so i could hold my kitty. All she would do was meow at me, I guess because she didnt know what was going on with her body. You kitty will be completely fine you'll just have to keep a eye on her so she doesnt lick her incision. You may need to get a cone for her neck. i felt bad when I had it on her neck, but just remember it is for the best and their protection.
I wouldn't worry too much. Easy to say, hard to do.
As long as your cat is healthy it will be ok. Sometimes pets have undiognosed problems and do die from the anesthesia, but it's rare in a young animal. With senior cats, the vet will do blood tests first.

Change the word "worried" to "concerned". Surgery is always risky, but not getting her spayed is even riskier. She's not going to freak out because she's not going to know what's happening and afterwards, she'll not miss it. She'll be a much better pet, healthier, and will act like a kitten the rest of her life. Also having her spayed cuts the risk for certain cancers. You need to trust that the vet knows what he/she is doing. All that schooling, you know. (Diploma is usually displayed). Concern means that you care. Worry implies that you can't think of anything else and your are becoming overwrought. Your kitty needs to you be calm and caring, confident and relaxed because she will pick up on your moods and you don't want to make things worse for her. Give her lots of love and affection after her surgery and she should be fine.
It's perfectly natural that you feel worried, all of us do when our loved ones have surgery, but spaying is routine surgery for vets and relatively complication free.
Your vet will carry out a health check on your cat before they perform the operation to make sure that she is fit enough for surgery. When you collect her from the vets, she will be a little woozy and wobbly on her legs which should wear off within twenty four hours. When you get her home, put her somewhere nice and warm, away from any other pets in the home to sleep it off.
Just like us humans, how quickly the anaesthetic wears off will depend upon the individual cat. I've had some who've slept for almost a whole day and others, who after a couple of hours rest were up and moving about. Make sure that she isn't too active as you don't want her to burst her stitches by jumping up anywhere high etc.
Just remember that by having her spayed you're being a responsible owner. Not only will it stop her from getting pregnant, but studies have shown that spayed cats are much less likely to suffer from ovarian and womb cancer later in life.
Just remember to have her place quiet and calm when she returns. It's very rare that something happens during these procedures.
