My cat has been throwing up orange/red vile today and has not had an appetite.. I adopted him two days ago so I don't know what it could be. He is not on any medicine either. He is 1 year old

In a young cat, vomiting may be a sign of infectious disease such as a virus, parasites or even a foreign object causing a gastrointestinal obstruction. Contact the organization or individual you obtained Beckem from and inquire about his vaccination and deworming status. If he continues to vomit this evening, make an appointment to see a veterinarian as soon as possible. If the condition deteriorate prior to the morning, take him to the nearest veterinary emergency hospital.

It sounds as Orange is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.

We adopted a cat 1 month ago. she has been vomiting, and hacking like she has something stuck in throat. We have had her to the vet 3 times and spent almost $700 we had to change her food. she was ok for about 4 days but started up again.
