Please help, what's wrong with my cat?

You really need to get him to a Vet NOW. You are neglecting him and causing him to suffer by not seeking medical assistance

As the saying goes, if you can't afford the Vet, you can't afford the pet.

If he has a UTI he is almost totally blocked and is in pain. Please take him to an emergency vet.

Have the people call friends and relatives to chip in a bit.

OR - he can be surrendered to a no-kill shelter if they can't afford the fees, and the shelter will get the vet work done. This might be a good option as it is plain he is beat up on where he lives now. The shelter can find him another home.

If he can't pee, he will die of uremic poisoning, or his bladder will burst. Get him to a vet now and worry about the money later!

My mom is taking him to a vet now. We're using an emergency credit card.
I feel bad hearing how i'm neglecting him, i dont mean to i just can't drive so I can't do anything myself, i've just been sitting with him all day and periodically trying to get him to drink.
I posted here and looked up everything I could find as I waited for my mom to get home.

We have other pets, we can afford to keep them all happy and healthy and give them the best, it's just lately money has been very hard. : (

They're leaving now.

You haven't been neglecting, you are doing the right thing by having the cat go to the vets, it's very hard $$ wise sometimes I know.

But try to have a vet that regardless of $$ you can still go to or try to go to. My vet is very understanding and allows me to post date checks.

I hope he feels better soon,

I am glad you are getting him to a vet.

The vet may want to change his food...but no worries. I changed to a grain-free food that helps the pee stay at a good pH so crystals don't form. It actually works out less expensive since they don't eat as much of it...and it hopefully prevents extra vet visits that can add up!

HUGS and hoping for a good update on Sammy.

I do hope that all turns out well w/your cat. Money is an issue for nearly everyone these days and I'm glad that you were able to find that emergency credit card. Our beloved pets have no voice so they show us through their behavior that something is wrong, that they're sick and/or in pain. The blood in his urine is a sure sign that he's sick. Please update us. That poor boy is obviously in distress.

Thanks so much for the support and kind words. He's at the vet right now and I'm classes, she's texting me updates.
His urethra is blocked and his bladder is toxic and it was ready to burst. He's undergoing an operation right now. I'm so nervous and upset I hope he pulls through. Its $1,200.. : (
