my cat keeps shaking her head and scratching the inside of it but there seems to be no signs of ear mites ?? do you guys think it’s an inner ear infection or something else ? i’ve been trying to find what it could be and i’m totally lost ! i cant afford the vet as of right now so i’m here asking for help !! is there anyway i could treat it at home ?

Try a simple spray solution of 50/50 apple cider vinegar and water and spray around the ears. Usually this solution is for ear mites.

Your cat may also be having allergies or even infections. Can you at least call your vet and describe what's going on?

If it IS an inner ear infection, I don't know of any treatment other than antibiotics that go directly into the ear (ointment) These would need a prescription, but your Vet might give you one without actually seeing you, if you call them and discuss what's happening.
