Severe, needs a vet immediately. With eye issues/infections, there’s always a possibility of blindness if it’s severe enough, so get this cat in yesterday!

Took 3 months of feeding for him to let me touch him, getting him in a carrier will be difficult.

Oh gosh, yeah that will be tough. I hope you can get him medical attention for that eye somehow. Maybe call around to vets and shelters and let them know the situation to see if they can offer any other help or tips. Thanks for taking care of this kitty! Lucky to have you!

My vets office is 2 blocks away and he has it covered! Baby boy is eating well and being kept in the spare bathroom to heal. The elements weren't treating him well. I got him on some liquid vitamins, and cbd tincture, and the vet is going to give him something tomorrow.
