Hi, please help me. I have a three months old kitten with same exact symptoms as you have described. What to do, I am really stressed out and panicked. Thank you so much!   
the best thing to do would be to have your vet check your kitten. at 3 months old/12 weeks, kitty is very young. having symptoms of not eating, not drinking, and vomiting is serious.

how long as your kitten had these symptoms? is s/he indoors only or indoors-outdoors? how long has s/he been with you -- in other words, how long ago did you adopt kitty or has s/he been with you from birth?

If the problem is that your kitten won't eat, you need to try to get some food into him as soon as possible. An immediate thing to do to get some sustenance Ito him is to rub some honey on his gums but you really need to get him to the vet. You might need to feed him with a syringe until he starts eating on his own, but do try to get him to the vet as soon as you can.

Thanks for getting back at me, he is with me for a week and I got him in a pet store from a girl that just walked inside holding him and saying she grabbed him from a guy in the street that was keeping him in the hands up high and asking the people in the street who wants to take that kitten. I advised her to keep the kitten but she said she has a dog and she wants to leave the kitten there in the store or give him to somebody right than. So I took him temporarily and trying to find him a forever home, I had him in the yard for three days but he was following me when I was leaving so I felt I should bring him inside even though I have my own cats and have no more space for another one. I gave him a bath and he started to sleep in a spot by himself, he didn't like to be bothered by my other kittens so I gave him wet food and dry and he was fine eating but I felt he missing the outdoor or maybe felt he want to be with his own brothers and mother. Today is the second day he won't eat, and he vomited everything in his stomach, he slept continuously and lost lots of weight so fast. He is crying low sound as if he says help me, and looking very pale, dizzy and weakened. I tried giving him water by syringe but he don't want it and also try to give him Tomlyn Felovite II THIS IS A SUPPLEMENT but he runs from it refusing it. Earlier I gave dinner to all my babies and try giving him but when he had the food near he started to get more sickness trying to move away from food smell. I want to take him in the subway and go to vet, it is one hour and half trip to get there, I feel really bad to see him like this. I prayed for all the symptoms to be transferred to me so he won't feel the sickness any longer. I cannot see any animal in pain, I can't bear it :(

He sounds very sick, poor thing. Please do take him to the vet as soon as you can. It was very kind of you to take him in, but it sounds like he needs more help than you can give him at home.

How is the kitten? It was so kind of you to come to his rescue. Have you been able to get him to the vet?

With heavy heart I am confessing, my baby passed away on Friday the 28 August, in the hospital at aspca. I regret I took him there, they have not done anything as I expected antibiotic or find out if is bacteria or virus. They suggested euthanasia the moment they saw him. I was heart broken for entire weekend and now my other cats are getting the same symptoms. Loss of appetite and vomiting. I have not even recovered from the one I lost so unexpectedly and now this is another nightmare. I went to the vet today but she was not in mood of doing any good work, she din't even listen when I started to say about the one that I lost and why I am trying to give her as much info but she cut me short in ten seconds. She has not prescribed any nausea or vomiting medications to help stop that or try to find out why the vomiting is there happening, she asked nothing. Only I said I need the vaccine for parvo as one of the vets at the aspca suspected that my baby had the parvo virus and this is why I went to vaccinate today. I am desperate because my babies are vomiting continuous and I do not know where else to go this morning to get some vet who can see what treatment the kittens need and give it right away. What to give at home, anything home remedy to kill the virus or this ******* bacteria? Please suggest something, these vets do not want to give any treatment because they don't know what to treat.

I'm sorry you are having so many issues right now. :hugs: If you aren't comfortable with the vet you saw, I would suggest going to see another.

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. I really think you need to find another vet to. Your vet sounds really unsympathetic.

How are the other kittens? Did the vet test them for parvo? Have they had the vaccine?

I don't understand why you included the link to the blog about using apple cider vinegar. Is this something you have  tried or do you think it could help your cats?
