I’d be interested to know what the ethical concerns are. The reason that very few vets will perform this procedure is because of their own ethical concerns. A routine neuter benefits the cat being neutered (as there are reductions in risks to her eg from infectious disease and pyometra). Tubal ligation gives no benefit to the animal being treated, and is thus considered by most to be an unethical procedure because all it does is prevent pregnancy (which, while a benefit to cats as a whole, is of no advantage to the individual cat who must undergo an invasive surgical procedure).
