    Can you get her into a carrier and take her to a vet? That's the only way you will solve this. We can't see her and most of us aren't vets. She may have the cat version of AIDS or something else serious. She needs to be checked out NOW before she starves to death.

    A kitten or cat that won't eat in 2 days will have kidney problems. Force feed her A/D diluted in a syringe in a soupy mixture, 12 ml or cc's twice a day. You can only buy canned A/D from a vet. If you can't get to a vet, you can buy kitten replacement milk at a grocery store in the pet section. Go to a grocery store that is very large so they have the options in the store that you need.

    I hope this helps. God Bless You.

    I absolutely agree with vites.. I have had to do this many times with cats that I have fostered . You MUST go to the Vet although if it is going to be a while till you get there, you must start with the forcefeeding immediately not only is a stop on eating/drinking a sign of kidney failure but her liver will start to go (a yellowish color will settle into her eyes and skin as well)
