Answer
Brittney,

I'd like to start off by letting you know that all of the experts on Allexperts are volunteers, this includes the veterinarians in the Ask A Vet portion of this site. I am not a veterinarian so I can't provide you with a diagnosis, medical treatment or a prognosis. This kitty needs to see a vet ASAP because I really do think (based on my experience) that Tigger could be in very serious condition. There's nothing that can be done to fix this for free, at home. There's a chance that Tigger could have a urinary tract infection or a build up of crystals in his urinary tract that are scraping against the inside of his bladder or urethra or even causing a partial blockage somewhere in his urinary tract or bladder which could provide an explanation for why he's having the bloody discharge from his penis.

I do keep a binder full of different organizations and charities that may be able to help pet parents who find themselves in difficult financial situations where the cost of vet care is concerned. If  you go ahead and send me the US state or Canadian province that you're writing from I will send you all of the resources that may be willing to offer you and Tigger a helping hand. Tigger's condition could potentially become quite serious so it's best to get things happening as quickly as possible so that this little guy can see a vet ASAP because he's going to need medication including antibiotics (and possibly pain medicine to help ease his discomfort, cats don't typically show signs of being in pain it's an instinctive thing that protects them from predators) and there's a chance that he may need to be hospitalized for anywhere from a couple of days to a week or more depending on what his diagnosis is. The sooner you send me the information about where you're writing from the sooner that we can get Tigger the help he needs. I look forward to hearing from you soon so that we can get this kitty the medical attention that's necessary to get him healthy, comfortable and happy again.
