Fever in cats usually indicates there is an infection present. Cats also can get fever from a flea parasite called Mycoplasma, which is treated with an antibiotic. There isn't anything you can do for either of these scenarios at home unfortunately. A vet visit is required to treat for these and hopefully get Snow back to normal. I would ask friends and family if they can assist you with getting Snow to the vet for further care. Here is also a website link with financial assistance if this is the reason why a vet visit isn't feasible for you. Best wishes and take care. http://m.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_veterinary_care.html Carecredit.com
