What to do when you find a sick stray cat and can't get to a vet?

OMG, this kitty is very ill, it is not possible to say what she is suffering from without a hands-on exam. I suggest you offer her food and water, put her in a box with a towel and take her to a veterinarian ASAP. You can also call your local Animal Control or a shelter and they may pick up the cat from you. Here is a Pet Hospital near you that is open 24 hrs: http://www.daktari.gr.jp/tokyo.html http://www.daktari.gr.jp/en/index.html

That's very kind of you to take in this stray kitten! The bloody nose could be due to the cold, especially if she has been sneezing a lot. I would keep her warm tonight, and keep her indoors. If she's very congested, she may have trouble smelling food, so I would gently warm some really smelly wet food such as sardine or fish based to try to tempt her to eat. I would take her into the vet in the morning. The vet can do a physical exam, routine blood tests, and a urinalysis to check how her organs are functioning and her current health status. I would recommend getting her vaccines if the vet feels she is healthy enough to receive them, and should also be flea treated, given heartworm medication, and dewormed. She's lucky to have you looking after her :-)

Poor little thing! Thank you for trying to help her. It sounds like Candy Cane has many issues going on. I strongly suggest you take her to see a veterinarian as many of the issues you describe sound life threatening. I would take her to see a veterinarian as soon as possible. You can try offering her canned food, keeping her warm or even offering some KMR kitten formula but her condition sounds critical. Unfortunately there is not much more you can do at home without seeing a veterinarian first.

Poor Also sounds very sick, and it's extremely serious she won't eat or drink. She has to see a vet now, and I would see if you can borrow money from family and friends to afford the vet. I can give you some resources that may help as well. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Carefree Credit online. http://www.carefreecredit.co.uk https://www.rspca.org.uk/whatwedo/vetcare http://www.easipetcare.com Check out these resources to see if one can help you, and please take her into a vet immediately.

Oh dear, poor little cat! Since you already have the cat in a cage, I recommend taking the cat to a vet immediately for evaluation. Try to avoid handling the cat further since you do not know if he has been vaccinated for rabies and animals in pain can become quite aggressive. The vet will also be able to scan the cat to determine if a microchip is present because this would allow them to find the cat's owners. If you cannot take him to a vet, look for a local shelter because most have veterinary care available. I hope that all goes well!

From what you are describing, lethargy and a reduced appetite I would advise taking the stray into see a veterinarian. It could have an underlying medical condition, could have suffered an injury, or may be microchipped and belong to someone.

Unfortunately no, there are likely no free vets in Italy. Vets cannot work for free, or they wouldn't be able to keep their business running, afford medication and equipment, or pay their utilities and employees. I would see if there is a local cat rescue or animal shelter in which you can bring her into right away. They can get the veterinary help she needs, and find her a home. Best of luck!
