Cats don't get raped. She may have UTI or some sort of infection. she needs to see a Vet, its the only way to get a proper diagnosis and the treatment she needs.

Same, sort of. I thought OP was invoking a neighborhood cat rapist. But I looked it up, and sometimes rape can cause infection that results in bloody urine. So their question sort of makes sense.

Cats do get raped, by human standards. Tomcats aren't big on consent.

But anyway. That's probably not what happened here. A bladder infection is much more likely, or, sadly, injuries causing internal bleeding. She does need to see a vet, as soon as possible. If that's not possible financially, it may be necessary to surrender her to a shelter or rescue so they can help her.

I would disagree with this, actually. It's darn near impossible for a tomcat to actually breed a female who is not receptive. With an unreceptive female, he may be able to grab her neck and "hump" her (if she doesn't beat him up first!) but as far as actual mating, the female needs to assume the lordosis posture, which she'll generally only do if she's in season.

 

[Willowy]

Ah well, it doesn't look too consensual . Most of the time anyway, with all the fighting and such. I assumed them getting into position was just instinct.

 

[lutece]

Females in season are generally extremely motivated to seek out males and mate with them. Whether you consider female cats actively seeking out mates to be "consenting," or whether you consider cat behavior to be "just instinct," is all in your perspective. It doesn't look exactly the same as human sexual behavior, but cats are different from humans.

It’s Time We Educated Our Male Cats About Rape Culture | Points in Case

Following my male cat's attempt to have sex with his sister, I realized that the real problem is endemic to the culture of rape in which he, and all cats, live.

I think you just need help no matter what the cause. If you can google financial help with vet care you may be able to secure some funds to help. Call the vets near you too and explain that you just saw this kitten bleeding and you would like to save her life but need help. Ask,” Can you help us?” Some will do what they can. Explain that you will bring her into your home if they can help you save her. Some Himane Societies offer vet help and some rescue groups do as well. Call everyone! Please do get her help as kidney and bladder problems can become serious. Thank you so much for caring and for noticing her problem. Please post back and let us know how she does or if you have further questions.
I’m glad you came to the site for help. Welcome! Bravo for noticing the little one and wanting to help.

Please get her to a vet as soon as possible- time might not be on her side here.

I would google and see if there are any sliding scale veterinarian clinics in your area. Is there a vet who has seen your pets before and knows that you will pay him/her when you can? Is there any way that you can call that vet and see if you can get some antibiotics?
