Why is my stray kitten raspy after meowing, sleepy, and not playful?

Question

We picked up Ally as a stray. She has a bit of a rasp after she meows? She sleeps a lot and is not very playful for a kitten. Any solutions? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

HI, you did a good thing by rescuing a stray. Now the next step is to take her to the vet for an exam and vaccines. It sounds like she could have a respiratory infection and needs antibiotics. It is important that she eats and cats with respiratory infections often stop eating because of nasal congestion. Feed her canned kitten food 3-4 times a day depending on how old she is. You can also use human nasal drops for congestion relief and put one drop in each nostril. This will help, but it is important to take her to the vet before this gets worse. Good luck with your new kitten!
