I'm curious - why doesn't your cousin want to have her spayed? That's really the best solution
To answer your question - you might be able to advertise on Craig's list that you are looking for an intact tom. Or if they have community bulletin boards at a nearby supermarket you could post a message. Be safe though. As far as breeders, they probably restrict their male cat's mating to the breed they're working with.

You can also look at the breeders forum for ideas.
No reputable Breeder would agree to stud service under these circumstances. Your Cousin should spay the girl.
Is the girl a special breed? Is your cousin trying to become a breeder?
In my country, and with the breed that I breed, it's normal to go to other breeders and "borrow" their male for a certain fee. However, I know that in other countries they aren't that keen on it. So if your cousin has a breed she wishes to breed, she'll most likely need her own male, as well as a registered cattery etc. If she doesn't have any specific breed, I'm quite sure she won't be able to find a stud at another breeder. In that case, it's better to get her sprayed, so she doesn't have to go through all the hormones all the time - it's harmful for the cat, and the longer she is in heat without getting the kittens, the more she's at risk for health issues.
