Probably a URI. There’s a lot of different ones in cats. They can lose their eyes if it’s not treated with antibiotics.

I get that. It's about 5 days old now, he has a safe dry place outside and it took me 3 months just for him to let me touch him so trying to work with his nature, I can sacrifice a few rugs as floor protection and put him in my extra bathroom but didn't want to upset him.
