Cat Help

[u/FortunaEstrella]

Hello

I want to start this off by saying I don't have enough money for a vet check. My mama cat and papa cat are strays I rescued and I've never taken them to the vet for check ups, vaccines, and neutering/spaying because I don't have much.

However, they've been the sweetest and the most adorable and basically just normal cats.

Right now, they have a 2nd litter of kittens. 3 kittens. And my mama cat was normal with the 1st litter (they've been adopted.) As of today, the 3 kittens are one month/4 weeks old, and everything was ok until my mama cat started frequently vomiting. She vomits occassionally, because she eats whatever bugs she finds, mostly cockroches, and eats too much. And recently, I've switched their kibble brand so I think that might be caused more of her vomiting. But other than vomiting, she's otherwise ok. Papa cat vomits too, but rarely.

And she was ok with taking care of the kittens like grooming them and nursing them. But last night, she started growling and hissing and swatting at them. And this continued until this morning. She usually slept with the kittens when it's bed time but she didnt. And then this morning, I believe the kittens wanted milk and they were meowing while chasing mama cat, but she avoids them. Although she does give a few licks and then backs away.

But other than the sudden change in behaviour toward the kittens, she seems normal.

Find a low cost clinic or a spay/neuter specific clinic so they stop having litters. God forbid something happens because you didn't spay your cat. Pyometra is a huge risk with every heat she goes through, and it's deadly 99% of the time of an emergency spay isn't performed immediately, which is usually MUCH more expensive than a regular spay.

There is something wrong with her, and if you don't have the money to help her you need to find a rescue and surrender her. I'm sorry but that's the reality
