for seomthing like that, the morning might be too late. try phoning arournd your city/area to find one that's open and has a free appointment. if you can't find any, go to the veterinary hospital right away. rat poison is fatal for cats and humans and many more. why else would you tihnk they use it on rats?
well, you shouldn't give him any "human medicine" it would probably make the situation worse.
keep an eye on him. make sure he isn't doing too much vomitting and confort him by talking in a gentle tone with him, try to calm your kitty down too.
please take him to the vet asap
best wishes, hope he gets better

Most rat poisons prevent the blood from clotting. You should not wait until morning--it could be too late. Go to the emergency vet so treatment can get started, and bring the package or name of the poison with you.

this is not something that you wait until the next day for...this is an EMERGENCY the longer you wait the more ingested into his system the poision will go...if you catch it soon enough they can remove most of the poison with IV liquids...please find an emergency vet NOW...and keep the poor cat indoors from now on

I would not wait at all I would call the poison center to see what you could do for your kitten until you get it to the Vet. Do it to be on the safe side. I hope your kitten will be ok.

You'd do better to take him to an emergency vet tonight. As small as cats' bodies are, he might not make it till tomorrow.
Sorry to be an alarmist.

your cat needs to go to the vet at once,to make sure it has IV fluids and medication for the poison,do it now before it's too late!

I would not wait..........but if you must give the cat some activated carbon available at drugstores.. It will help to absorb the poison.........good luck

induce vomiting would be a prudent measure. ipecac will do it (you can buy it at Walgreens)
