This is not an emergency service. You need to get your cat to a vet ASAP. Aspirin can kill your cat. You can try to induce vomiting at home but this is not recommended as there is a high chance that he will aspirate. Also, this will not help if he drank it more than 15-20 minutes ago. Chances are some of the aspirin has already been absorbed an your vet will need to intervene to minimize the side effects. http://cattime.com/cat-facts/lifestyle/9662-how-to-induce-vomiting-in-cats http://www.petmd.com/cat/conditions/digestive/c_ct_aspirin_tox Hope this helps.
