Help me my kitten is 4 months old and he was all healthy this morning, but i had put him in my laundry and i could find him after my grandfather had let him out i was searching everywhere and i found him behind a water heater and he hasn't been the same since the tip of his tongue is sticking out and he refuses to eat or drink. I am really scared, I can't afford to take him to a vet until Tuesday so I dont know what I am going to do SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!

This sounds like he may have injured his mouth or eaten/tasted some sort of toxin or poison.  If there is rat poison or anything like that around, that's a possiblity.  You really should try to find a vet who will work with you on a payment plan or something, because this is a real emergency and going now might mean the difference between life and death for the kitten.

Your kitten may not survive without a vet visit now. I have no idea what might have happened, but if nothing else, please take the kitten to a no-kill shelter or humane society. It would be worse to let the kitten suffer and linger . . . but he needs help now.

From your description, this cat needs to see a vet immediately.

I am sure you love your kitty but letting him suffer would be quite neglectful.

He may have eaten something toxic which means he needs attention ASAP.  Try to get him to a vet if you can right now.  He may have injured his mouth on something also.  You didn't give many details but from your description of his behavior he needs medical attention right away.  Please follow up if you can with his condition.

In them thar hills...
Is it possible he burned his tongue?  Is the hot water heater HOT?

I absolutely agree that he needs to be vet bound IMMEDIATELY......
