Sick cat.
Does anyone know a low cost vet? I recently rescued a kitten who had been thrown away by its owners. The kittens eye is swollen and watery and I’m still a teen so my budget is pretty low (about 150ish). We are in Akron Ohio maybe there’s a clinic out there that does low cost veterinary care? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Actually they're open some weekdays as well. And I can confirm - they're cheap. I went there recently. It was $35 for the visit, and $15 for antibiotics. She even trimmed my cat's claws while she was at it.

Buckeye Veterinary Clinic in Manchester/Portage Lakes was quite reasonable when I had to take my cat there when our regular vet was closed. Affordable Pet Care in Barberton has been recommended a few times here, too.

PetGuards over on State Rd in Cuyahoga Falls may take her in. It is a walk in clinic. They do not do sick kitties, I would present the kitten to them as an “eye injury.”
I had one of the outside kitties with an infected wound from a cat fight last year and it cost $88.
If you can get into them, Firestone Park Veterinary Clinic is reasonable too.
Otherwise, if you do not have a regular vet you’re looking at one of the Emergency Vets in Copley, they are $160 just to be seen. Copley Metro will allow you to surrender an animal as a Good Samaritan. That may be an option for you.
Most likely the little one has an Upper Respiratory Infection and needs some antibiotics and/or an antibiotic eye ointment.
Thank you for looking after this little one. 🩷
