No, apple cider vinegar will not slow down the UTI, and he won't eat it due to the taste. Water mixed with wet food is better than chicken broth because chicken broth has salt in it, which can be dehydrating. I do recommend water mixed with his wet food to flush his bladder, that is the best option for him.

I am sorry to hear about your kitty. It is unlikely any dietary supplement is going to be helpful at this point as it isn't going to treat the UTI. Providing plenty of water (if she doesn't normally drink much then wet food or a water fountain is a good option) and if she becomes lethargic/starts vomiting then a trip to the emergency vet is recommended.
