I am trying to find a low cost vet to help with my stray kitty. I am on the Big Island Hilo area. We just had our stray kitty spayed/neutered couple weeks ago. She seems to be feeling sick, not moving, eating. It is now maybe 2 days. I am thinking she ate something poisoned, not blaming my neighbors but they dislike cats. Not sure what to do, I was thinking of going to a pet store and ask for some advice. I a cannot afford vet care at the moment.
