Hello. I adopted a cat around 2 months ago and he is currently around 5 months old.

Can it be after the next couple days? I just got the vaccine and am a little sick so won’t be able to drive for the next day or two
Is she eating/drinking/using her litter box okay? If she is, I'm pretty sure it can wait until you're better.
Maybe you can email the picture to the vet?
Definitely call the vet and tell them what is going on. Besides being gray it is looking to me like it is breaking or somehow dislocated. Photos are not always easy for me to see but this is an issue for a vet to attend to no matter what the case. I think that as soon as you tell them what you see, they will schedule you to bring kitty in. Better to get it looked at than to risk it being painful or causing eating problems or infection. Always trust your instincts. If it makes you think of calling the vet, do so. They are the best ones to advise you when it comes to health issues.
Our posts crossed. If you just got the vaccine, then you need to be safe. You don’t need to be at risk and that won’t help kitty. Call the vet and get information going. As said by

maybe you can text or email a photo. Who knows, perhaps they can advise you or send some meds if needed so you don’t need to go right away. That might put your mind at rest too. I hope you feel better quickly. Please do let us know how you and kitty are doing.

He is at the age where he should be teething, so it could be a baby tooth that's hanging on. But I can't tell what's going on by the picture. See if you can get more obvious pictures, then call your vet and ask how you can send the pics (email or text or what), and see what the vet has to say.

Thank you everybody for the suggestions. I think I might wait until tomorrow to see if it is any better and is just a baby tooth or if it is still like that, then I will probably call or email the pet if I still feel a little sick. Thank you and I will keep you updated xx

ok update
the tooth fell out while he was eating so I’m assuming it was a baby tooth. Thanks everyone for the input
