My cat is really poorly please help :(?

Question

ok so we have been looking after this cat for a long time now, she was stray she still kinda is but we feed her, stroke her and play with her. She enjoys our company and likes being around our house.

well anyway as i was walking to school this morning i saw it and it looked fine, when i came home from school my grandma said it was ill and it was in my room sleeping. Ithought it looked fine and went to pick it up. it started to hiss at me and turn its head.
i backed off and stroked it. it then walked away slowly and limping. its walking so slow as if its stiff or something. this is very weird, she is usually very fast and likes to run. she is not eating or drinking anything we give her and just wants to sleep.

Please tell me, is she dying or something? we cant take her to a vet because we dont have a car or money to pay for the treatment, we're basically stuck and dont know what to do! please help!

It really needs to go to a vet - if its an old cat it might need pain medication for arthritis or other joint problems. Or it could have an injury - cats are very good as hiding the extent of their injuries (because predators would see an injured animal in the wild as an easy target) she could have a broken or fractured leg from being hit by a car, or have been bitten by another animal. 

Check her over for bite marks and treat any wounds you find with antiseptic, if you don't find any, or they don't seem to be causing her limping it may be a more serious injury that you can't see.


If you can't afford to take her to the vets please take her too a shelter where she can recieve the treatment she needs - if its not serious they might be able to treat her and give her back to you. But please don't leave her to suffer.
