SUBREDDIT: r/cats
TITLE: Not sure if this stray cat we picked up is going to make it :(
POST: My brother and his girlfriend found a stray cat in the our parents shed. It was real sweet and friendly so she began to feed it and keep it company for a couple months. Eventually we think a neighbor who isn't fond of cats turned him into the humane society. By this time she was in love with it, so she had him released to get shots/checked out and to try to find him a home because they weren't able to keep it.
I decided to look after the little guy until we had him fixed and we found a  home for him. He must have picked up a virus at the humane society because he started to have cold/flu symptoms, so she took him to the vet. They put some fluids in him and gave us some antibiotics to give him. Fast forward to almost a week later... the poor guy hasn't eat in at least 4 days, and barely will drink any water. He's vomited a handful of times and has diarrhea. He pretty much lays around because he obviously has no energy and is fucking miserable. Vet said to take him off the meds since it likely makes his nauseous and wait a couple days. Now the poor guy is just skin and bones, and I'm wondering how much longer he could even last without eating.
We've tried to force feed him but it just isn't happening. She and my brother have literally spent all of the little money they have on cat essentials and vet visits, and I'm not even able to help them. I feel so terrible for the little guy and them because they're spending all their money on trying to keep him alive. Makes me really sad to see him miserable cause he definitely deserves some quality lovin' haha
We don't really know what to do now... can't afford critical care let alone a simple visit
TL;DR: 
Bro and his GF found really cool stray cat. It got sick and they're literally putting all of the little money they have into getting him better but can't afford much more.
