Open & Ripped Gums on my kitten

My kitten was found with his incisor & gum ripped almost out of his mouth. It has been seveal days and it is now puss colored and it also smells bad. i know that it is infected. His tooth sticks out the side of his mouth. I can not afford to bring him to the vet. is it alright to put peroxcide in his mouth .... just a little... to clean and disinfect the wound. i dont know if it is poisonous to cats or not. please help me! i dont want to loose him!

You may lose him if he doesn't go to the vet's.  If there is pus it is infected and he needs antibiotics, and there is a chance that if this is not treated he could get a blood infection (septicemia).  Antibiotics are not expensive, but repairing his mouth may be.

check with your local vets.we got a price from one for about $500 to remove an incisor, but the cat specialist vet charged only $120!
