If they receive benefits, tell them to look on the PDSA website and contact them STRAIGHT AWAY. Other than that, I personally (whether I was 14 or 24) would call a vet myself. Tell them that your parents don't want to bring the cat because of the price and ask for their advice. They won't charge you for speaking on the phone. Or call a rescue shelter and they will help you. Or even call the RSPCA. You are only 14, but you are old enough to know what is best for this cat. Your cat should be spayed, for a start. It is completely unfair of your parents to allow her to keep getting pregnant - she clearly is not well enough to produce a healthy litter and this is incredibly cruel for both her and her kittens. I don't want to scare you, but I am worried that if you don't do something straight away, both your cat and her kitten WILL die. Please print out our answers and leave them for your parents to see. Message for the parents - take your cat to a vet NOW. You cannot leave this poor animal to die. If you cannot afford to look after her properly and to have pet insurance, you need to hand her over to your local shelter: YOUR CAT IS IN SERIOUS NEED OF HELP Your parents are behaving absolutely terribly.

Losing litter after litter, and getting pregnant over an over again, will eventually KILL your cat. When parents don't care........and yours apparently are only concerned with the cats keeping mice out of the barn........not worrying about the health of the cat....after all "cats are a dime a dozen" (at least that's what it sounds like your parent's are "saying", by the way they're treating this situation! A kitten having convulsions, sounds like there some kind of poison in the barn that the mama cat is bringing to the "nest" where she had her babies. I'm sorry for your situation. I know you love your kitten and want it to live, but I really doubt that it will. I'm really sorry.............Good luck!

They are very helpful and will often cover the cost of any vet bill. I would ring the RSPCA or my local cats protection and explain the situation to them.
