What is pink/brown discharge from my cat's bottom? Can't afford vet.

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 12 years and 8 months old | 6 lbs
Hi. Starting yesterday, my cat has been standing up, slightly bending, and then a clear and tinted pink/brown is coming out of her bottom. It doesn’t smell like urine but I don’t know what it is. I am very concerned but I don’t have the money to take her to the vet.

Poor Oreo. This could be a problem with her anal sacs or it could be an issue such as a UTI or bladder stones. Without seeing her in person, I can't say for certain.She does need to see a vet for this problem to get it diagnosed and treated. 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. I'd also see if you can borrow money from family and friends. 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 this helps!

Leesi could be suffering from vaginitis, which is an infection of the vagina and is more common in spayed dogs. She will need to see a vet for this, but if she is eating and drinking normally, and otherwise behaving normally, then it can wait until the morning. Just in case it appears she gets sicker in the night, I will give you some resources that may help you afford a vet.

The Onyx & Breezy Foundation has many programs including helping people with medical bills. They are a good resource for information. Brown Dog Foundation provides funding to families with a sick pet that would likely respond to treatment, but due to circumstances, there is not enough money immediately available to pay. I hope one of these resources helps you!
