They will be very concerned if it appears to be choking on something. Tell them you cannot bring the cat in because you are a student and lack the funds. They might be able to set up billing options so you can pay in installments after the cat is treated. They'll never turn a sick animal away--or at least they don't here.
The other thing is that the animal is a kitten and likely bought from a pet-store that always and typically has a guarentee with all the paperwork you were given that the animal is healthy and that they may replace it if it's not in a certain time frame.
Check that out in your paperwork that came with the animal if you got it from a pet-store and ask them what this spitting and choking noise ammounts to.
When you are not at home try to leave your cat in a pet crate for short periods or fence it into an area such as your kitchen with a tarp or paper down so that if it is sick it can be handled easier later on and not ruin your bedding or be all over the house.

It might be worms, it might be a hairball, or it might be something else entirely. If it's a hairball, you can help in the future by brushing her regularly. However, you should not assume it's that.
If you can't take proper care of your kitten, consider giving her to someone who will. She deserves better than being left to suffer because you can't find the money to pay for her treatment. [ Daimeera's advice column | Ask Daimeera A Question ]
