!!!!help paralyzed cat!!!!

[CJLR]

Is your kitty now moving his hind legs and/ or tail? Good if yes, not good if not. He needs that trip to the veterinarian's as soon as possible, poor guy.
Cats are really tough, and will hide signs of pain if at all possible. Assume he really hurts!
Let us know how he's doing, and what's really wrong when you have him at the vet's, hopefully tonight.

If you can convince someone to drive you to the emergency vet now, do it. You said vet is only an hour away. Waiting will not help!
Edited to add, the cat will need a subcutaneous injection of fluids to prevent shock from setting in. Also an X-ray to rule out internal damage. Don’t listen to anyone try to tell you he will be ok or wait and see. You will miss your chance to save his life and possibly cause needless suffering. Sorry to be harsh but you
have a life or death emergency here

With crush injuries like this you need a vet who can x-ray and give pain meds. He's likely broken not just his spine but possibly ribs too. I'm sure he's in excruciating pain right now. If you can place him on a heating pad on low that will help keep his temp up too. Keep an eye out for swelling and any neurological symptoms as well. Do you have an er vet in your area? He's going to be in so much pain until Monday. There isn't anything over the counter for bad injuries like this. He really needs meds.

Do not I repeat do not give any medicine for pain. What you have in the cabinet might kill him. Let the vet give the proper dose of the proper medicine.

Just a comment. Sometimes getting to the vet immediately is just not an option. The OP did say she intended to take him. My Sammy got sick on a Friday evening. The vet clinic was closed. It didn't matter because I couldn't get Sammy there anyway. I cannot drive at night. I did get him in to the clinic first thing on Monday morning. If a person lives out in the sticks like I do, services that one has access to in a more urban area just are not available and you just have to do the best you can with what you have.

Ok I understand that. I’m lucky to have so many vets here

O my I hope yours makes it. We found ours this evening stuck in a fork of a tree about 40ft up. He lost circulation to his hind legs and caused the muscles to die. We had to put him down nothing the vet could do.

I’m so sorry

I stand by my first statement. You said the emergency vet is one hour away. Call and go at once. Do not wait for morning, because the emergency vet will have supplies equipment and training that the regular vet may not have. Good luck.
