UPDATE:
She's doing better after taking the advice of baby food. It's kept her from [insert word] but I still haven't gotten her to a vet because of the cost and I'd like to get an X-ray but...the cost. 
I'm still a little worried about her being as thin as she is and why this keeps happening periodically. But she's doing better in terms of keeping her food down and the bleeding. Thanks guys, I didn't think this thread would get much response and support like it did since it's about a cat but an animal to me is almost like a kid. She's got a lot of charisma for being just a cat.

That's great she's doing better MissConstrue! 
Hopefully she will continue to do better. Things have a funny way of working out when you least expect them too I've found.

MissConstrue,
in case do not know,make sure the baby food does not have any form of onion in it as it's toxic to cats.
it's good as short term stuff [am had given it to sick rats] but a vets visit needs sorting as she will only lose weight and get weaker at fighting anything if not able to get all the proper cat stuff.
am wonder would it be possible to blend cat food enough into a smooth mix,to be able to syringe feed her?
that would give her more than baby food,but normal cat food may be too strong for her at the moment,it might need to be applaws or science plan type [as little added crap things as possible].
science plan do have a very soft pate that could be made liquid enough to go through a syringe.
are there no shelters or organisations who could help towards vets fees?

Baby food is safe, I had that question for my vet to, its used by vets for small carnivores, including cats, its also called duck soup. Heinz Chicken with Broth Baby food, ingredients chicken, chicken broth, spices. It can also be mixed with their favorite kitty food, once they are able to hold the food down.

Well you can get one in your local animal shelter. There are plenty of these precious things that need homes.
I'd adopt another one but we're not allowed over 2 and well I have 3.
