A stray cat I feed is sneezing with eye discharge and their appetite has gone from lessened to not eating anything but still drinking water. I dont believe he's eaten anything in 24 to 48 hours seems weak. I have been taking care of another cat who I took to the vet but do not have more money to help this one. Is there anything I can do to help him? He is sleeping in an outside cat house we have

It sounds like an upper respiratory infection. They are common in cats and can be incredibly contagious to other cats. Make sure to wash your hands and change your clothes after dealing with Tom. Many of these infection are viral and simply have to run their course. Occasionally antibiotics are used to treat secondary bacterial infections. Cats don't like to eat if they can't smell, so if you can give him smellier foods, like tuna or some varieties of wet food, he may eat a little.
