you should take her to the vet, explain to them your situation and they can probably work out a payment plan so your poor kitty doesn't have to suffer.

I'd call the vet and ask for advice. If they think it's urgent enough they may have you bring her in and work out a payment plan for you to pay later since you can't afford it now.

if you cant afford to take care of an animal then you shouldnt have one! If your toe was swollen and looks like it split open I bet you wouldnt wait 2 weeks to go to the doctor!

She needs to go to a vet, if you can't afford it you need to give her up to a shelter that can treat her and get her another home.
Kittens are cute but they cost MONEY. Why doesn't anyone understand this?

Sounds infected- she should have antibiotics, but if you can't afford the vet bathe it in strong salt water solution at least twice a day.

give her to a person who can afford to take her to the vet!!!! who actually DOES give a damn!!!!!!!!! in my opinion, you have no business owning a pet if you can't afford to take care of her!!!!!!!!!! she needs medical attention right away!!!!!!!!! you're not a vet so no home remedy or any of that bullshit will help her, it sounds like she has an infection. if you don't want to give her to a good home, which I suggest that you do, then take her to your SPCA. they will be more than happy to treat her for you with a low cost!!!!!!!! I'm soooooooo sick of people asking these kinds of questions. it's like helloooooooo, if you can't afford vet bills then give the pet up to someone who gladly can!!!!!!!!!!!

Cut off the toe with a pair of pruning shears.

Take her to the vet right away. She could lose her foot.

Call you vet and ask what they can recommend. You don't want to risk your kitten's health,
