Default Hello all

This is my first post and I hope I'm doing it right. I have a problem I am hoping some one can help me with. There's this stray tom cat that was dropped off here. He was nearly starved to death. He's doing ok now except for he's getting sores all over his body. I'm sure they're not from fighting. It's getting pretty serious. His fur doesn't seem very healthy either. Is there anything I can do to help him? I would appreciate any help I can get. THANK YOU!

Hi. Welcome to the forum. It could be fleas or something else.
I'd take him to the vets.

HI,
Welcome to the forum.
Well it sounds like he could have some type of skin parsite. Such as fleas or worse yet mites.
I would take him to a vet to get him checked out if your going to keep him. If not turn him into a shelter that will treat the problem and find him a home.
Keep us posted on what you decide to do with him. But he should get medical attion.
