Your cat needs to go to the vet, most likely antibiotics are the only things that will help. Most vets will work out a payment plan to help u get ur animal seen. If u have no money whatsoever, you really shouldnt have a pet and find it a better home.

You shouldnt have gotten a cat if you cant afford it. THe cat needs a VET NOW. It is YOUR responsibility to get medical treatment for him when hes sick, its part of pet ownership. Surrender the cat to the local humane society or the vet and NEVER get another animal. You cant be that broke if you have a computer and are on the internet. CANCEL THE SERVICE AND SELL YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU ACTUALLY CARE FOR THIS CAT!

If he has a fever hes sick and the illness needs to be treated that is causing the fever. Take your cat to the vets before it gets worse. And no you can not give your cat any human meds for a fever.

how do you know the cat has a temp? Did you know that animals normal temp is about 101 degrees? They keep a higher body temp than humans do. Besides that, what else makes you think the cat is sick? And why is he in pain? There are not enough details

Maybe get an ice pack and put on him, or gently poor cool water over him. Try to get him to drink lots of water. Maybe just call a vet and see what they would do for him.

Maybe if you gave you cat some ice cubes to chew on. That way it would cool down and rehydrate. Maybe worth a try.

Tough. You need to bring him to a vet. Just sacrifice a little of your reefer or booze money for the benefit of your pet.

i'm sorry, but the only advise i can give u is either ask a family member to help you in you situation or keep your cats head cool and body warm, and give it lots of liquid, plus food(maybe wet food so your cat can eat it more easily)..........sorry about your cat
