My kitten's wound got worse. How to find affordable vet care?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

My kitten was limping so I took her to the vet and they said she was fine, to bandage it, so i did. I took off the bandage today to change it and found a small hole and thought itd just heal itself over time but the holes grown 4 times in size and even made another hole appear. I dont have the money to pay for the vet to see her again, what now?

This is not good, and Autumn has to see a vet again. This cannot be treated at home. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/ Please take her into a vet immediately. Best of luck.
