My kitten ate too much, is vomiting and tired. Should I see a vet?

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 7.3 lbs

My 7 month old male kitten got into the cabinet and ate a large portion of his Iams dry kitten food, a little bit of Iams adult dry cat food and almost a whole package of cat treats. He has been puking it up since about 7 pm and it hasn't not subsided. He has used the litter box but acts extremely tired and unlike himself. What should I do?

Oh poor Phoenix! Given that he is still vomiting without it stopping, it's time to see emergency care. He will need a shot to stop the vomit, which the vet can give him. I would take him into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him now.
