No emergency vets? She needs one IMMEDIATELY.
Are you at least going to take her first thing as soon as the vets open? If there are no emergency clinics that is?

Even if its going to cost you more than you have, you need to get her to a vet if you can.

Ask the vet if they can do a payment plan for you.

Vets have a duty of care to look after sick animals, the same as doctors have for people who are sick and have no money.

Many vets will help you work out a payment plan if you cannot pay up front.

If this cat is dying, there is nothing we can do over the internet to save it. It must go to the vet.

mmm TAXI yes that was going to be my other suggestion. You gotta do something for this poor kitty right away. Can you call your parents and tell them you need your car? Don't they have a car you can drive? Unless you are not of driving age then sorry. She has to go now.

The kittens must be kept warm and safe.

I would suggest putting them in a box with a warm blanket along with the mother now if you can.

If you have a dropper or syringe, try to get a little water into her mouth, do not force it down her throat, but at least she may get a little water this way.

Keep the mother warm as well.

If you do not get this cat to the vet it may die.

Try to find ANYONE who can get you to a vet. Is is possible that they could drive out to you?

If you already know that your kitty is veryyyy SICK - then you MUST find a way to get her medical help. Talk to the vet and ask about a payment plan.

I hope your kitty is doing ok! If she is that sick, she is going to have trouble feeding the babies.

If her nipples are sore, she may have mastitis, and a very warm (not too hot) washcloth held against her belly may help. The kittens nursing will also help. If she is unable to feed the kittens, you need to feed them. Check back on the pregnant kitty forum, at the top for the recipe for kitten glop.

I am so sorry this is happening with your kitties! I understand that things are very different sometimes in other countries! I wish you had a vet to consult with. Best of luck to you!

Ok im sorry for all the time without posting!!
I had a hard time the other day (or better said night) because i came from college late and found Colin sick and barely moving.
I got her to a vet, its a mastitis.
I seperated her from the kittens which are eating water softed cat food. And they gave her some shots and medicine. He said it was going to burst so i have to watch her and cure her with betadain every now and then while i keep up with the antibiotics.

thanks for all your help and care

Whew! I'm sure glad you got her to the vet
I don't know what mastitis is but it sounds nasty. I hope she gets 100% better ASAP

Mastitis is a inflamation of the mamarian glands (tits) because of a pass of infection to the milk (from the kittens or her blood stream). This is why she needs to be away from the kittens because if the suck milk they will get infected, and sice they are still creating and invigorating their inmune sistem they can die easily. But they are a month old and are eating soaked sry food. When you treat the infection ("pus") burst out and starts to heal.
Here she is an 15 minutes ago. She still isnt eating (because of fever), but vet said that maybe this night or tomorrow. Right now shes just on pedyalite.
