I found a cat that had something stuck in its fur on his leg. It was like a shellac that had hardened. I cut out what I could and he has pulled the rest out. Now his bare pink skin is exposed. How can I help him. We go to the vet in 2 days.

Is he home with you?  If so, you dont need to worry about this any more.  good the vet will make a check up, make sure he is dewormed and deparasited.

If he is outside, and it is cold, - yes, its not good...  He may get frozen wound there, cooled down too.  Unless he ahs some reliable shelter.

Please write more...

Good luck!

Thank you so much for helping this kitty!  He's found a true savior.  I second what Stefan says - he needs shelter and good food and he should heal well.

A trip to the vet is just the ticket, too, to ensure he's healthy otherwise.

i had a similar problem with a cat i had a while back, his pink skin was exposed. He had ripped his fur out for some reason. I agree that now he is in a safe environment and should do just fine with a visit to the vet!

thank you for taking this cat in!
