cars are not meant to sit. Start it at least once a week and let it run till the rad fans come on. There are things that run the battery down in almost all cars. Put a trickle charger on the battery for $39 which will keep it fresh for when you need it. Probably battery is low from sitting and draining. Have it checked at a reputable battery shop.
