My kitten is weak, not eating, white nose/tongue, crying. Help!

Question

I have a little kitten & something is wrong with it. Its nose & tongue are white. I cant get it to eat only drink. Its very weak but has little random bursts of energy. Every few minutes it cries out like its in pain. We dont have money to take it to the vet. I dont know what to do. Please help. Pet's info: Cat | Aegean | Male | unneutered

I am very sorry to hear about your kitten. From your description it sounds like it could be very anemic (low red blood cells) and it may actually be agonal/dying if it is crying out every few minutes while otherwise being weak. This kitten needs veterinary care and will not survive at home. I would recommend relinquishing the kitten to a veterinarian or rescue/shelter/humane society if you cannot care for it as there is nothing at home you will be able to do if this kitten is as ill as you describe. You can also consult this website for ideas on affording veterinary care: https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/having-trouble-affording-veterinary-care . In the meantime keep the kitten warm and you can try rubbing karo syrup or honey on his gums in case his blood sugar is very low.
