You could get two pieces of wood place them vertical or horizontal on her leg and get a string to rap it around her leg your cat might scream for a while cuz it hurts then give her asprin or some kind of pain reliever medicen add water mush the asprin on a spoon and give it to her for about awhole week and she well get better soon you well c.

You need to get the cat to the vets, If the leg is actually broken and moved around the artery supplying blood to the leg can be pinched or severed,
If you are really serious about getting your cats leg fixed but mom and dad are against it there are a few things you can do .
If you get an allowance you can pay back your mom a little at a time until the bill is taken care of.
You can offer to do extra chores around the house and work off the bill.
unfortunately you are learning very Early in life that nothing is free, If you are serious about getting kittie's leg fixed you have been given a few options.
Now the rest is up to you.

Get on the phone and call all the vets (ask to talk to the vet and not the front desk) in your area one by one. Also call the animal shelters and the humane society. Tell them exectly what the issue as you wrote here and dont forget to tell them about the kittens and how much you love the cat, how old you are , (the finer points to make the vets want to help / sympathy) and I am sure someone will step up to the plate. Also dont forget to tell them that you dont have much money but only about $10.00 that you can pay (if you offer to pay at least something, they will normally let go of the rest of the charge, but make sure that you offer some money instead of nothing) . Do this ASAP please. Open the yellow pages, pick up the phone and call. Only 2 things will happen, either they will say yes or No. Good luck.
I would like to know how this turns out please.

Take the cat to a vet and stop making excuses. If you can't afford a vet then surrender it to a shelter or a rescue so it will get the medical attention it needs instead of being allowed to suffer

You need to find a way to get the cat to the vet. Trying to do medical treatment you're not trained for will only harm the car more, and cause great pain. If you have pets, you MUST be prepared to take care of them - and this includes trips to the vet when necessary, and certainly in an emergency. If she's broken her leg, this qualifies!!!

Don't even try that idea. Get that animal off to the vet.
Setting a broken limb improperly can disable the cat for the rest of it's life, also to the point of it constantly re-injuring the leg.

I had a cat get run over by the school bus and broke 2 of his legs. Both were on the left side. My mom had a finger splint and she put it on his leg. We left him pretty much alone after that. He healed just fine with the splint and he lived for quite a while after that. True story

Please take your cat to the vet. A cat need proper care with a broken leg. They have to have cast put on and they have to stay in a cage for at least 6-8 weeks so that the leg can heal. PLease take your cat to the vets you might only make is worse.

i like chui's idea, call the vet, and dont let your parents know yet that your calling, and tell them EXACTLY what you wrote us, and ask to talk to a veteranarian, not someone who just answers, if they wont let you, still tell them the problem how much you love her, maybe they can help you.
i'm sorry, you never know, it might not be broken, but its still better to call the vet. i'm sorry to hear about your kitty, i hope everything turns out well for you and her. and too, talk to your mom, tell her how you feel about your cat, and maybe she will take her to the vet for you

My kitten jumped off the bed and I thought it broke its leg but I guess it may have been something else bc it was fine in 2 days. I would massage its leg and try to keep it off of it. If it still looks bad in a couple days contact the spca.
