Get her to a vet a.s.a.p. any cat (or animal for that matter.) if bleeding, its a serious problem. Surely you can find a vet that will let you do instalments. Do you have a rescue centre that helps out with costs, here we got P.D.S.A. for people on low incomes. Blood in urine in a cat is not good news. Vets a.s.p.

Your cat is very sick. It sounds like she could have a urinary tract infection or she might have ingested something toxic. You have to get medical attention for her right away. Take her to the vet, explain that you don't have any cash and try to work out a payment plan with them. If they turn you away, call the local Humane Society and tell them what's going on. They can help you get financial aid for the vet.
UTIs are seriously bad for cats. I don't mean to scare you, but she could die if you don't get help for her as soon as possible.

She may have stones and can't urinate, a kidney infection, or a urinary tract infection. She is a sick cat. There is no home treatment for her. Urgent veterinary care is what is she needs. Ask your vet about payment plans, Care Credit, ask friends & family. Good luck. Let us know how she does.

I agree that if you cannot afford vet care, you should surrender your pet to the humane society. Any time a cat bleeds outside of a female in heat is a serious indication of a potentially life-threatening problem.

For the life of me, i can't understand why some poeople would waste time and effort on getting answers on the interenet when their so called beloved pets are in obvious pain. TAKE THEM TO| THE VET ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you can't afford one, then take her to an animal shelter where they offer free vet services or the city vet. Some schools offer free vet services too. And even most private vets will offer their services for free if the animal is is need of emergency treatment and discuss payment later.

This is one time when she DOES need a vet, the symptoms are not something to ignore. It's nothing you can fix at home.

If you can't afford the expensives that come with owning an animal, then DON'T GET ONE.The only one that suffers in these situations is the poor animal. Animals are helpless, they DEPEND on US to care for them, that's why they are called pets. Today they have payment plans for emergencies like these...I suggest you get on the phone and call a vet asap......or PLEASE give you cat away to someone who will care for her.

Take her to the vets! they will let you pay once you have money, or pay in installments, just explain your situation. its a urinary tract infection she has and if it isnt treated it will spread to the kidneys and could cause kidney failure!!
