I started out with 3 baby kittens, the mama cat was a stray and I couldn't touch her, she has been missing 8 days now and we found her babies in the shed. One has since died, the other is growing and developing just fine, but the 3rd one not so well. Its twice as small as the other one and its little but is bloody all the time. It poops blood. This breaks my heart. I cant afford to take it to the Vet, someone please tell me what it could be!

Okay so I really need to know these kitten's age.

Can you describe to me if they can walk? Do they walk wobbly? Can they run?

If we're talking much younger, eyes are open? Ears up? Do they sort of walk but their back legs are not straightened out all the way, sort of like scooting as babies do?

He is about 5 to 6 weeks old. Yes, his legs aren't straight and he does walk funny, he kinda hopps. He don't have a tai at all.

Hi @Regina Taylor

The chances are high that the kitten has a GI parasite.  Is he pooping diarrhea with the blood, or just blood, no poop?  If its diarrhea with blood then a parasite is the likely cause, easily treated and not expensive to treat, but if untreated can be fatal in cats this young.    The normal cost at a vet would be a standard exam, a fecal test, and medication.  Your kitten needs a vet visit and treatment, I'm sorry you can't wish this away.
