Infected Bit

I don't know about natural remedies. Sometimes they heal up on their own. But if it really is infected it could be fatal. You could borrow a trap form a rescue group if your willing to pay the vet bill to get it checked out. If you decide to take it to the vet, you ought to consider getting him fixed. Fixed boys live longer because they calm down and don't go starting fights with other tom cats.
He will need antibiotics mixed into his food. Can you talk to a vet about him?

I have some antibiotics from a few months ago I don't see puss it is very swallon I thought it was broken at first but I watched him eat on top of my truck thru a window and I can see there maybe puncture wounds shaped like a circle and some scratch on his face I can just tell he is hurting and not feeling well

The antibiotics were mine not sure how much to give I was thinking UD put a little bit at a time he is a larger cat but he looks to be under wight sence he showed up here a few weeks ago he has put wieght on and started grooming but he looks to be 7 to 10 lbs
It is probably an abscess that will need to drain. Antibiotics will help.
