My cat has inflamed gums very red, they look to be covering the teeth on one side. She isn't eating as much as usual. Do you have any home remedies we could do for her until we can call the vets on Monday? Unsure how long it's been going on for.

Unfortunately there are no home remedies for this. Inflamed gums can have a variety of different causes- tooth infection, stomatitis, oral tumors, infections and other causes. Aurora will need to see her veterinarian soon for this. She may need a dental cleaning and/or antibiotics or other medications to help resolve this.
