I sometimes find Toothless dragging his butt across the carpet and licking it. I know it’s a sign for maybe worms but I currently Can’t afford to take him to a vet. Is there anything over the counter I can give him or other signs to look out for? He shares multiple litter boxes with two female cats. They are all indoor only.

Hello and thank you for contacting PetCoach. You can get a de-worming medication over the counter, for example Drontal for cats. If de-worming doesn't help, you will need to get Toothless to a vet to check his anal glands as the symptoms he is showing can be caused by impacted anal glands.
