Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male

my cat is young and he is acting very weird. he barely walks and eat. we need to use a tube to let him drink water. his fur on his belly got yellow and his fur is white. we dont have much money to give him enough medications though. he's laying down on the floor and he growls at the same time as if he was in pain. Please help my cat. Im verry worried about him. it all started 2 days ago.

Poor Sky. If his belly is yellow, he could have liver problems. He sounds extremely sick, and if you don't have the money to treat him, letting him go peacefully may be best for him. You cannot leave him in this condition, it sounds like he is suffering. 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 Carefree Credit online. http://www.carefreecredit.co.uk https://www.rspca.org.uk/whatwedo/vetcare http://www.easipetcare.com Best of luck.
