I did a bad thing-I took a sick kitten home to care for

This cat zucchini has been my best friend ever since i got him. he kept me company and curled up on me after i had a final fight with my friend and broke off communication.

UPDATE:
I was examining his body today and i noticed a small pink bubble around his “thumb” on his left paw. I think maybe that’s what happened…he got an abscess and it started to spread and that’s why his ears and nose are red…he has a fever. Maybe?

I get paid in two days. My other cat, who was 18 human years old, got into a fight and he got nasty abscesses from the claw scratches. The vet had to pop them with her hands and wipe them down with antiseptic or something.

. He’s very playful and eats and drinks now, but an abscess needs to be lanced asap (popped). I noticed it around 9 pm tonight after a close examination and I’m nervous for the cat. I imagine it’s painful. Maybe that’s why he’s so clingy.

I and my mother are broke until i get paid in two days, so i hope really really hope that the cat will be okay until then. I’ve been holding his paw on a warm towel.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments! Me and zucchini really needed the support.

I’m going to get a note from my doctor saying my cat is a psych cat for my severe anxiety so the landlord doesn’t charge me hundreds in pet deposits. I will report back when zucchini goes to the vet and they lance his bubble.

UPDATE: NOTHING wrong with his paw! He’s healthy, except for ear mites. The vet did an earwash and gave me medicated ear drops. He also got medicated dewormer, as the vet said those over the counter stuff doesn’t work very well.

His temperature was normal, his paw was fine! Just getting his booster shots a week or two from now, and poof! fixed kitteh!

Cost of vet = 75 dollars (they gave me a complementary visit for some reason)!!
