His eyes were again matted shut-I cleaned them and we have continued to do so several times a day, but he very seldom opens his eyes and when he does they are very red.  <\/p>\n<p>He has stayed on the porch at the food and water-I guess cause he has finally found it!  We called the vet and they want $70 just to look at him-my husband won&#8217;t pay it-they only want $20 to put him to sleep (the cat-not my husband-all though..) if he doesn&#8217;t get better we will have to do that.  <\/p>\n<p>Can you help???<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have a small kitten that stays outside-(all our cats do-we haven&#8217;t been able to catch them yet for shots or anything-) his mother brought him to the food first about 2 weeks ago.
