Question
okay so i have more than the average amount of cats because i just love them. i had a litter of 4 kittens and we got rid of one and we had 3 left. one died the other day and today we found the another one dead. the one that died first we think i held it in my hands as it died. the other one we couldn't find and then we randomly found it. but my other kitten whose not in the same litter but probably has the same father as the other two is starting to show some of the same signs. hes lazy, not eating or drinking, just lays wherever, his gums are pink, the one that died in my hands has very pale gums and that's how a friend knew he would die. his ears are cold and theres no sign of any color change to his gums, tongue, or eyes. I'm very worried and i don't have any money to bring him to the vet. i am worried about him and all of my other cats. please help.

The best thing for you to do is go to have the remaining cats examined by a veterinarian. If you do not have money to seek veterinary help, then give the kittens to someone that can help him.  Because you have lost many pets, it is important to find out why they are dying; a veterinarian can determine if your pet needs extra care.
