i'm sorry to hear about your sick kitty. Theres nothing we can do, we aren't vets and we can't be there to see your pet.
Please get the animal to a vet as soon as possible, and if you cannot afford it, surrender her to an animal shelter where they can look after her. |

Yea I have to Agree there, "NOT" taking her to the vet is more cruel I'm afraid. She clearly needs medical attention..She needs to see a vet. When you have animals, you take the bad with the good, she cant help herself, she needs you to do it for her..
I'm not being nasty or nothing but your mum should not have that attitude when it comes to the "PETS" you choose to keep them for "LIFE".. Im Afraid
When they are unwell, they need help. I dont mean to sound harsh.. |

Assuming this isn't some kind of joke, there seems to be a lot of that going around lately. Sounds like your mom would really hit it off with this guy's mom. Maybe they could get together and have a good laugh about how little their cats mean to them, and how they feel nothing when they see them suffer.
Here's hoping that your cat will someday find a family that is capable of loving and taking care of him.
Our species is such a disappointment sometimes. |

Tell your mom that the fines and possible jail time for animal neglect/cruelty will probably be a lot more than what the vet will charge.

Theres only so much advise people can give "Over the net" for you, and all the advice you have been given here is right on the ball... Please get the poor cat to a vet, I'd rather eat Jam and bread then let my babies suffer.. |

| If you can't pay it all at once, most vets will let you make payments in a small amount. They would rather have the animal get better then to see it hurt if the only reason is money. There are other options like going the the humane society to see if they can help. Sometimes, they will assist for free. |
