Long-distance diagnoses are impossible, and the internet can't replace professional help. Can't Afford a Vet? - PLEASE READ

The very first thing that comes to mind is an adverse reaction to the flea drops - I assume you've bought an over-the-counter flea product? Such products are very bad news, i.e., they have been known to kill cats. Please scrape together the money to get this kitty to a vet before it's too late.

You can talk to local vets to see if they'll accept payments. You can also apply for CareCredit. Thank you for rescuing this kitty, but it seems she urgently needs a vet. frown.gif Without having ANY idea what it could be, there's no way to advise on how to help - even if just overnight.

Vibes vibes.gifvibes.gifvibes.gifvibes.gifvibes.gifvibes.gif you'll find a way to get her in to see someone asap.

The "falling to her side"--does it look like she's rolling around like cats do to scratch their backs? Or does she look like she absolutely can't stand up and is falling because of that? Does she look like she has any control over when she "falls"? Is she eating and using the litterbox well?

Unless she really seems to have lost control of her body, I'm suspecting she's in heat. Cats in heat will yowl and cry and roll around flirtatiously. It does look very strange to people who have never seen it before. I would recommend getting her in to be spayed as soon as possible, or there will be a lot more cats for you to take care of ($$$$!) in a couple of months. You should be able to find a low-cost place to do it if finances are a problem.

If she's not eating, or is having any litterbox issues, or is falling with no control over her body, she needs to see a vet immediately. If you can't afford that, surrender her to a shelter so they can see if anything can be done, or put her to sleep so she won't suffer.

i don't know much about cats and i fell in love with her the moment i seen her but when she falls it almost like she really tired and then she starts to roll on her back and starts whining........and i just found out a moment ago she won't let me touch her tummy every time i try to touch it she starts to whine and using her head to move my hand out the way almost as if she wants me to pet her head instead....then moment later she starts walking around like nothing has happen...but i think mostly after she eats she starts up again so i was thinking she might have a tummy ache or something and i want to take her to the vet but at the moment i don't really have the money right now i mean this cat wasn't planned and i was thinking about giving her away but i don't know of any shelters around my area and i ride the bus everywhere so i don't have a car so i wouldn't know how to get her there but i really want to giver her up so she wouldn't be in any pain or would have to get put to sleep

It does sound like she's in heat. If you don't get her spayed soon she'll have kittens, and raising kittens is very expensive, much more so than having her spayed. Try calling all the cat rescue places to see if someone can help you get her transported to a low-cost spay clinic. They're usually very helpful.

If you want help finding low cost spay/neuter clinics, if you're in the US, please post here or send me via private message your zip code, or your county and state. If you're not in the US, please let me know the name of a town or city you're in or near and the country.

Ah, yes, this is referred to as "calling."  Definitely in heat.  If she doesn't get outside, mate, and get pregnant, it will end in a few days, but start up again in just a few weeks.  Worse than living with a teenaged human (but good training for it).
