It's the only animal currently being treated by UC Davis whose owner hasn't been identified, the school says.
Vets say the cat appears to be older, but his injuries may make him look even older than he is.
The cat was found near James Creek in Pope Valley - one of the areas in Napa County that saw evacuations due to the wildfire.
Anyone who thinks the cat may be their missing pet is urged to email ucdavisvetmed@gmail.com with identifying information, descriptions or photos.
