My cat won't eat after a death. How long can he survive without food?

This is a medical emergency, and Blacky has to see a vet now. If a kitten goes longer than 72 hours without eating, they will develop a fatty liver, which is fatal without treatment. Leaving her like this is cruel, and you need to find a way to afford a vet. Borrow money from family and friends. See if your vet accepts payment plans. You cannot treat this at home, please take her into a vet right away.

That is concerning that Kovu has suddenly stopped eating as much and has not eaten for the past three days. That makes it a medical emergency.

Since you cannot reach your vet, you need to take him into an ER vet clinic now or find another vet in town to see you. Best of luck.
