I think my boyfriend's 21-year-old cat is dying
She is puking up spit and she won't eat. My boyfriend is away because of his bipolar being left untreated and now his cat is sick. What should I do?

4. No money
She's sleeping now, perhaps she'll go in her sleep. :-(

6. Is there a regular vet she goes to?
Maybe they would treat her for free if they knew your situation. She is pretty old and it sounds like this is the end. They might be willing to end her suffering.

7. She's not suffering right now
She is sleeping. I am going to see how she feels in the morning and take it from there. There is a low-income vet here, but my ex didn't pay the bill when our other cat died and they won't let me make payments anymore.

3. Call someone in his family
and see if they will take care of getting her to the vet.
