If you are unable to get him to some sort of vet clinic and he was actually poisoned or injured then there is nothing you can do for him at home other than keep him comfortable. It may be too late

Make the cat comfortable and the water and food close. Give the cat a couple cc/ml of childrens benadryl for any alrgic reaction. Someone else may be able to tell you if you need to give pepto or not. Do not give milk or anything else that might give the cat diarea. Would be good to give some sugar water to help the water run through the cats system faster. Not much else I can say with the little information. Feel the cat to se if anything feels bruised or broken. What do the cats gums look like?

Call your vets office and see if there is an answering service. Often when there is not an emergency vet nearby, the vet can be called in to handle an emerrgency case.
If not, you need to get in the car and drive to the closest town that has a vet that will see you.

I know it might be rude but call your local vet at home...I wouldnt given it anything to make it throw up since if it was poison then it could hurt your cat when it comes up same as when children get into poison....call poison control and the vet, try to get a hold of any vet if you have to. hope your kitty gets better....

You need to get him inside and warm, then, you need to find a 24 hour veterinary clinic and take him there. There is no other substitute. If you do not have a 24 hour clinic begin going through the phone book and calling any vet in your area. Most will have information on what you can do after hours.

There are emergency vets. Look in the phone book.
If you have to wait until morning, put the kitty in a carrier, or a small box. Dark and quiet will help settle the cat until you can get help.
Don't give any human medicine. It will do more harm than good.

If you can't get your kitty to a animal hospital, there isn't much you can do. What makes you think he drank poison? Is there some around? Has he done that before? I am thinking it isn't likely that he ingested anything poisonous, unless you know he likes to chew plants - some are poisonous.
Keep him comfortable. He may recover on his own.

If you call the vets they do have an emergency staff, they will come in anytime there is an emergency with any animal, it may cost a little more but there there for you. my sister had to call the emergency team a couple of times because her dog had parvo.
