My boyfriend and I just got a new kitten a few day ago. He had traveled from Prescott to the Valley in a Tire Wheel. A couple of his paws we're scratched up but other than that there was no other damage.

He is about maybe a month and a half we guess and we did find Ticks on him and cleaned him of those but he also has worms. We really Don't have a lot of extra cash to take him to the vet to get him dewormed, we will if there is no other option, but is there any other things we should try first?

We switch on wet food and some regular cat food(again no extra cash to buy kitten food so we give him regular cause we have two other cats) We keep him away as much as we can from the other cats, for now because of the worms and ticks.

Any help please?

Call the vet and see if he will work out an easy payment plan or will accept a bartering situation where, for instance, you bring homemade cookies every Monday for a month or do some cleaning around the office/clinic. The kitten should definitely be seen by a vet.

Perhaps take this kitten to a rescue shelter. He needs to be with people who can de-worm him and vaccinate him, neuter him, etc. If you can't afford to care for this kitten properly, you should give him to people who can. No disrespect intended.
