My kitten's leg is stuck. Is it serious and how can I afford vet care?

Question

My kitten's leg is stuck facing upward, almost as if the joint refuses to let her move her leg downwards. And it sticks out to the right a little bit. She doesn't seem to be in pain but she almost never walks on it unless she needs balance, but when she does that she doesn't put weight on it. So my question is if this is something that should be taken care of before she turns a year? And if so do you know an estimate of what it would be to get it taken care of? I'm scrounging together the money. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

This should be taken care of now. 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/
