I am curious as to how this vet online from pictures came to that diagnosis. Also do you know if it was really a vet ? Allot of people online will lie about their credentials etc.
That being said, it sounds like this cat is very ill. Don't let him suffer. Put on a brave face and do what you have to do. Contact Ally Cat Allies if you can and ask them for help. They are a good organization and should be able to at the very least send you in the right direction.
Most people don't know this but a veterinarian has to end suffering if an animal is suffering and that is if you have money or you don't. So, try to talk to a vet first and see if they will euthanize him for you. Explain the situation Go there in person if you must and cry if you must. For the most parts veterinarians are usually inside very kind hearted people who don't do well with other people and other They usually get over it after a while but try to let that fact work for your advantage in getting this poor cat euthanized. An animal control death is not the best. That is why I say that. If you do take him in don't say he is feral. Just say he is a stray. Let them know he is nice. See if they will let you stay with him.
The reason you have to euthanize is because you cannot risk your own cats health. You don't have the money to care for a very ill injured cat and you don't have the room to keep him. It is a very sad fact of life but people suck and sometimes you have to clean up someone else's mess and sometimes that mess is a very sad living breathing little soul that never hurt anyone in the world. It isn't fair and it isn't right and it sucks to say the least. It hurts and rips your heart out but sometimes there just isn't any way to make it work. Sometimes you can try everything and still fail. Letting him suffer is much worse at this point.
We all would love to believe in miracles. I know I would. That somehow the little cat will be miraculously healed by love and good thoughts and feelings and go on to live a beautiful life with a loving family but most of the time it doesn't happen. It rarely happens and if it does it often goes wrong. A cat this injured and sick will need intensive care at home and who knows surgery? What else? You owe it to your cats to take care of them. You cannot subject them to another cat and the threat of disease.
There are always these people online that will say don't euthanize because they want to log off with the good feeling that they saved the cat by telling you that and not worry about it again. Well the reality is that they have delayed the suffering of this poor little cat yet another day after day.
Put on a brave face and do what needs to be done today. Don't worry about how you will feel about it afterwards. Any tears you shed afterwards are for yourself not the cat. He will no longer be suffering. Remember this is about him and not your feelings. That is one of the reasons I .......
I am not trying to be rude or harsh. It is a sucky stupid horrible situation this cat is in and you, but someone has to make a decision hear and help this cat.
