ANSWER: Since I have no idea which leg you are talking about, back or front, and I don't know what has happened, there isn't much I can do online.

You usually cannot splint a leg successfully without hurting the cat unless you are experienced at it.

You can at least take the cat to the vet to see whether or not it is broken. They can splint it for less money than a surgery.

But again, I have no idea which leg or part of the leg you mean.

QUESTION: its the left hind leg.  something hit the cat because the leg is inside of the hip and it wobbles easy.  if i press hard on it or touch the part where its seemingly disconnected the cat moves away.  the cat needs help.  i dont know the proper way to do it.  should i jerk the leg and get it back into place or not to.  they need to take an x ray to see what happened, because something heavy hit the cat hard and like knocked the leg into the hip. so the leg is stuck there and its not really usable. please help

Answer
It sounds as if the femur is broken. There is nothing you can do for this cat. It needs a vet and soon! I have no clue if this is a stray or your cat. If it is your cat you owe the cat the responsibility of taking care of him. Pet ownership is a responsibility and it does cost money. You cannot jerk the leg and fix it. You will certainly get bit, really hurt this cat even more or worse. And yes, the cat was probably hit by a car. That is the most common cause of broken bones in pets.  

You can ask the vet about using pet insurance to help out with the cost. Or apply for CareCredit which many vets carry.

Either way this cat needs to be seen by a veterinarian tomorrow.
