Why is my rescued cat inactive, growling, and has a bloated stomach?

Question

We saved our cat, from a ditch. He's about 6 months old right now and we got him 5 months ago. He hasn't gotten a check up yet or any type of veterinary influence. This morning he seemed off and such so I made him a bed from his favorite blanket. He layed there all day and wasn't nearly as active and playful as normal. He has been growling and hissing and his stomach is bloated. I got him to eat a little and used a syringe to give him water. What is wrong with him and what can I do? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 4 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Oreo! Oreo should see a Vet today to be examined. Possible causes are: Intestinal parasites, urinary obstructions (unable to pee, this is life threatening), fluid in his belly (from feline infectious peritonitis), ate something that is stuck in his stomach or intestines, feline leukemia, a fever from an infection. His symptoms are too vague and can mean many things. In order to treat him he needs a diagnosis from a Vet. I hope this helps and I wish you both the best!
