Cystitis Relief

I have a 12 week old female kitten. The past 2 days she has had problems urinating. Ive called my vet and she's predicted cyctistis for the symptoms ive described, but said the only emergency appointment she has is 3:30 today or Wednesday at 5:50pm. Its now 3 oclock and i live 45 mins away from the vets so going today is not an option. There is another vets nearby but charges £200 for an emergency appointment and consultation. Which i cant afford because i dont get paid till friday. I literally have £30 left till then which i am going to use on the appointment at my standard vets wednesday.

So Ive looked online to find out about cystitis in felines and one webpage says 'This can be rapidly fatal within 24 hours and cant result in death due to kidney failure'.

The point of this question is to get the hard facts about what to expect from now untill wednesday. Anyone who is only interested in writing sh*t on this question.. dont bother. Im a really worried owner and i want to know how to best make my kitten comfotable untill wednesday. AND, if i do wait till wednesday, what is the worse case senario for this situation? what are the chances of death etc.

Thank you in advance for your time and help
A really really worried owner
can* result in death.

Ive tried pleading but it didnt work They are the best vets ive ever gone to and always have the best interest of the animal in mind rather than the money like the other vets nearby. They said they are really concerned for her but really dont have ANY other emergency appointments untill wednesday cause theyre all booked up. I just dont know what to do. Im so worried something will happen to her.

I agree with someone above me that cystitis can't be diagnosed over the phone, or even by just looking at the cat. You need at the very least a urinalysis done to rule out infection or urinary crystals.
Urinary problems only become immediately life-threatening if the cat can't urinate at all–if that happens you need to get the cat in no matter what. If she's still peeing, it's not as urgent. You could call your regular vet and see if they can run a urinalysis for you if you bring a sample in (you can get one by giving your cat an empty litter box or putting beans in it, so the urine isn't absorbed). Everywhere I've worked we've been happy to run a quick test like that if we can't fit the pet in for an appointment. I'd advise against doing a "walk-in" unless your kitty stops urinating altogether (in which case call and tell them you're coming, and if they're good vets they will see you immediately). You're not going to get the best care if you're unexpectedly squeezed in among the scheduled patients.
In the meantime make sure your kitty is drinking plenty of water–feed her canned food for the extra water in it–and make sure she is still urinating.
Best of luck to you and your kitty!
