If your Dad doesn't want to spend the money for cat food or litter your kitten could be in for a rough time. I see 3 options.

1. Call in an expert third opinion. If you know any vets wililng to have a friendly chat with your Dad outside the office they may have more authority to talk him arround and help him understand the problems he's asking for by not buying litter. I say do this outside the office because if Dad doesn't want to pay for litter he may not want to pay for vet.

2. Get a job and buy the box yourself. Cut lawns, babysit kids, sell lemonade, whatever, but show your Dad that you are serious about this kitten. It's not fun but having your own money is a great way to get control over a situation like this.

3. If Dad still won't come around you may have to start looking for another home for the kitten. That breaks my heart to say. But if Dad is that concerend about the money you may very quickly find that you just can't keep the kitten healthy. That's the nuclear, all else has failed, option.
