We adopted a cat about six months ago. She was going to the pound, and we knew she would be put down pretty fast. So we took her in.
And then I lost my job, my partner lost his. We love this cat, she's family, but vets are crazy expensive and I'm scared that something might be wrong with her.
She has had epic diarrhea. It has been improving, seems to up and down, I can't track a pattern. She's a slender cat, always has been but lately she seems too thin. She cries like she's in pain but she has no tender spots.
She will play with her kitten happily, they go crazy at a certain time of night.
We feed her biscuits, and she seemed happy with a few packets of wet food a day (still had diarrhea, but not yowling like she's in pain) but I was told they were bad for her so I bought her pet mince. She didn't really take to it. I tried human beef mince. 0 interest (I know it's fresh). But she demolished a piece of bacon I fed her. We wormed her yesterday.
So I'm getting her more ton food. Hopefully she just isn't used to raw meat and she will eat the tin food. I can't afford a vet, we are in a small dying mining town and no one can afford to take her (I'm not giving her to a stranger, but no one I know can afford another responsibility.) we are saving like crazy, in three weeks we are having her desexed. The procedure comes with a full health check, but I hate seeing her upset. Please don't judge me I'm doing the best I know how.
