Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I'm sorry poor Tiffany is having this problem. Frequent attempts at urination, with blood in the urine or stranguria (straining to urinate) can be due to cystitis, as you breeder has said, due to an infection in the urinary system, or sometimes our pets can get bladder or kidney stones, much like their human counterparts. Unfortunately this is something that really requires veterinary care-she will likely need antibiotics and some pain medication to relieve her from the pain she feels when trying to urinate. When urinating is painful, often they will hold their urine and create a worse infection. X rays may be warranted to rule out stones, and the best thing would be a urinalysis to see exactly what the contents of the urine are like. Would there be a vet who could treat your kitten for such a thing? Encourage drinking as best you can-increased fluids will at least dilute the urine and help to flush the kidneys. You may look into purchasing a urinary diet online like Hills Feline C/D to help with urinary issues. I hope this helps.
