The cat need antibiotics if she has a urinary tract infection!! If you have ever had one, you know they are painful and the cat need help. She will also start and continue to urinate in all kinds of places if not treated.
You have to find a way to get her treatment. References :
There are no home remedies for urinary problems in cats.
If your cat can't produce urine it is a life-threatening situation. Go to: http://www.littlebigcat.com and read Dr. Jean Hovfe's article titled "Urinary Tract Disorders in Cats", "What Cats Should Eat", "Why Cats Need Canned Food". Probably changing to a wet food diet would be as helpful as anything you can do at home. References :
No home remedies will help, you need an antibiotic. So-called home remedies may also be dangerous and cause more problems.Take the cat to a vet. If you cannot afford to care for the pet properly, surrender it to the humane society or find a way to pay for it's care. A pet is a committment like a baby, you can't just let it suffer. Also, most vets will work out a payment plan with you so it's not so hard on your budget. References :

There are no home remedies for this. You most definitely need to seek vet assistance now. Not only is your kitty in terrible pain but she could surely die. She could eventually stop urinating altogether and possible rupture her bladder. Talk to your vet about payment plans or borrow money from a friend or family member. If you loved your cat as much as you say you do, you would find a way. References :
I understand about your situation. I can't help with the distance, but look on line for low cost vet care services in your area. Also check with local shelter about this. With a little luck you will be able to get her what she needs for very low cost. References :

About the only 'home remedy' is to change her diet and hope for the best. UTI are very common in females, especially in winter. Certain diets formulated for urinary health promote a more acidic urine which is less likely to support an infection; but they're not likely to clear one that's already present.
It would be faster and more practical to get her some antibiotics. References :
My 10 year old cat gets these quite often (3 or 4 times a year) and has done since she was 2, so the vet has helped me work out an action plan. If I catch her early enough then she does not need antibiotics. My first sign is usually her having to pee indoors (not making it out in time) she hates this and goes in a plant pot or on a plastic bag if she can find one (I lined her litter tray with plastic bags under the litter when she was little). Or I might see her walk across the garden and stop to pee three or four times. If she gives me any of these signs my action plan kicks in.
1. First I bring her into the warm and give her litter instead of letting her outside. Then I can keep an eye on how often she is going and how much urine she is actually passing (also to watch for if there is any blood – if there is she it too far along in the infection to help and goes to the vet for antibiotics)
2 Second I have to hydrate her. The more water she takes in the better. It helps flush the bacteria from her system. I refresh her water bowl several times in the day as cats are more likely to drink really really fresh water. I filter it to take out the chlorine. I don't allow her any biscuits they are too dry. I feed her tiny tiny portions of her very favourite foods (prawns or roast chicken etc) in the bottom of her dish, let her have a little sniff, then cover it with two cups of very very thin gravy or watery chicken stock. That way she has got to drink down before she can eat her food. I only give her small amounts so I can do it eight or 12 times in the day instead of her normal 2 meals. I keep a tin of premium cat food in gravy in the cupboard for an emergency and mix a couple of spoons of this with 2 cups of water if I don't have anything tasty to give her.
I usually have her feeling much better in 12 -24 hours and right as rain in 48 hours.
If it is the first time your cat has one it if probably too far along for anything but antibiotics, (although doing the hydration is just as important with antibiotics). But if you are vigilante you may catch it early next time so its worth working out an action plan with your own vet. It has certainly spared my cat a lot of discomfort and antbiotics over the years.

Get some antibiotics from the vet. The sooner (today) the better. Your cat can die.
