Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 years and 8 months old | 18 lbs
I moved a couple of states over (24 hours driving) The first few days he puked a lot of his food up. Now yesterday and today is a yellow almost like chicken broth? I can't afford a vet until next week due to the long trip but as soon as I get my first check here I will immediately. Is he going to be ok until then? He's my "best friend" I can't lose him! HELP! He's literally puking over and over again!

Poor Sapphire! It's very concerning that he's been vomiting for a couple of days, and I do not think this is something that can wait until next week to see a vet. It's serious that he is vomiting over and over again, and waiting to see the vet could lead his condition to deteriorate even further. I would see if you can borrow money from family and friends to afford the vet, and I can give you some resources that may help. 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/ I hope one of these resources helps you afford a vet, please take him into one today.
