Try and find a local PDSA, they are a charity who will look at animals for free, or a contribution. See here

Only if you in receipt of state benefits apparently.
They don't (or at least didn't ) treat animals of the homeless who chose not to claim benefits!!

There is a special food that Hills do specifically for this problem, but it's not cheap. Is your cat a Persian as it's usually that type of breed who get it.

Unfortunately your cat really does need urgent veterinary attention - symptoms of FLUTD can be due to crystals forming in the urine, and there is a risk that one of these could block the outflow of the bladder.  If this happens and your cat does not receive urgent veterinary treatment then the bladder may rupture, or the cat's kidneys may fail, both of which can lead to a distressing death.

I strongly suggest you either contact the PDSA, or if you are not eligible for treatment there that you contact a rescue centre or the RSPCA and arrange for them to take over care of your cat.  It's not fair to let the poor creature suffer.

silly moo,I don't know what you are trying to say but if you are trying to say I am homeless or something than you have got it all wrong!!!! I took him to the vet and paid $300. so far.He seems better but if I want him to have surgery so it will not happend again it will be another $650.I have 2 children to look after that could use the money more than my cat.
