My Moe-Kitty is dying......she's not eating anything. UPDATE
I want to put her down but it will cost $50. I frankly don't have the money. I'm unemployed, not receiving benefits and my limited savings is gone.

I was just gonna use a .22 pistol and end it for her quickly but it turns out to be a felony where I live to knowingly kill a pet animal (I think farmers are exempt). Even if considered a mercy to the animal. She's slowly starving to death in front of my eyes, seriously it's messed up.

I've tried different soft foods, pet treats. She just won't eat. She's only 9 years old.

This sucks!

Is she drinking water still? I would do anything and everything to save my pet's life....will you? Is she sick? Ticks? Bites? been in a fight recently? Is she still affectionate?

She needs a vet, you can get funding from Pet Organizations

google for your area, try feeding her by hand or with an eye dropper with some ground up egg or oatmeal also Pedialyte so he will not dehydrate...


Don't let her suffer and don't try and put her down yourself...


Many Vets will put down a sick pet for free...

My Wife is a veterinary surgeon. There are really only a few possibilities. Depending on the rapidity of weight loss it would be a linear foreign body that's constricting her intestines ($1000 surgery) a foreign body in the stomach (it makes the animal not hungry because it's belly is literally full) and is a $1000 surgery. Or it's cancer. There is one other possibility, a thyroid problem. To determine the issue will require a couple hundred dollars to diagnose and solve, possibly more.

Contact the Humane Society and ask what they can do. Call around to a few vet offices as well. Some large Vet schools might be worth looking into as well. They could have a much reduced pricing plan in turn for something that allows for education / clinical experience. Some Vet offices also offer subsidized rates or even free stuff, depending on the situation. So call around and reach out to as many places as possible. Worst case I think the Humane Society will take care of the animal for you.

Good luck and best wishes.

Could be a respiratory issue where her sense of smell is shot.
Take some wet food on a plate and lightly micro wave it (just warm)

Thanks for the suggestions. People here really cool about this stuff. I called around to some vets and got numbers for local places that can help.

One is called PALs (Prevent a litter). Another is CARE and the Cat Alliance.

Do any of you know about these organizations?

Re: My Moe-Kitty is dying......she's not eating anything. UPDATE
When my cat had thyroid problems he would sometimes get really sick and stop eating and drinking. My vet recommended boiling chicken wings and legs and feeding him warm (not hot) broth with a child's plastic medical syringe.

You have to be careful to squirt the fluid into the cat's mouth against his cheek very slowly and gently (only a small amount at a time) so that it doesn't go into their lungs.

My cat would start eating and drinking on his own again after a couple days of the chicken broth. It gave him fluids and some nutition until he started feeling better. Cats will die quickly of dehydration if they aren't getting any fluids.

Don't use canned chicken broth as it has too much salt.

Meant to add...my cat was literally at death's door a couple of times and the broth feeding here and there added two happy years onto his life....

If nothing else it would prevent your cat from suffering or dying due to dehydration while you are figuring out what is wrong or what action needs to be taken.

Re: My Moe-Kitty is dying......she's not eating anything. UPDATE
I'm really sorry about your kitty. It will all work out how it is supposed to. I hope your cat may pull through, and that something works out if it's meant to be.

In the end, if you've been a good friend and protector thus far you've done a lot.

We all have to go sometime, but it's nice to have someone to care for us and worry about us. If you've done this for your kitty, you've truly done some good in this crappy old place.

If you love her and if you love life....

force feed her MEAT BABY FOOD in an eye dropper and high grade fish oil.

I Had to do this with my kitty. I used Salmon oil and Gerber's meat baby food.

My kitty was so weak he didn't lift a paw in refusal.

It saved his life.

Try it. It is cheap enough. Try something, try this.

and if she isn't drinking water........force water.

I gave my kitty three droppers full every two hours during daylight hours.

It it worth a try.
