My newborn kitten is weak, not nursing. Can't afford vet, how to help?

Question

One of my newborn kittens has not been nursing. She is weak even after being bottle fed. I cannot afford to take her to the vet. We only have the kittens because we rescued the mama after she was abandoned and she turned out to be pregnant. The other 6 kittens are healthy and active. How can I help this baby?

If you want Baby to have a chance of surviving, she has to see a vet 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/
