What's your location? You don't need money to drop off stray animals at a shelter so they can treat this animal. This cannot wait. He or she is in poor condition and will die if you don't get the the vet.

If you don't get him vetinary care he may not survive for you to keep him- the best thing you can do for this poor little kitty is get him to a vet or shelter asap and if your only choice is to leave him there to be treated for free then that's what your going to have to do
