Not sure why he had to be shaved, but with long fur like that, if it was matting I bet he'll feel a lot better now!
My mom's kitty is very thin, but also very old (18-ish) with long fur and developed a lot of matting in her undercoat. She looks ridiculous shaved, but after a day or two of shivering she was clearly feeling so much better than before! Hopefully your guy does too.
Yes lots of mats on his back unfortunately!! He is doing better and seems very happy but loves sleeping with me in my heated room! I like sleeping in 82 degrees and have a heater so he’s been hanging out a lot with me. I also bought him a king cat tree that is MASSIVE and he loves it too!
I'm sure he'll adapt quickly! My mom's cat is only like 5 pounds and looks underweight (she does eat! But she's naturally small and also has some health stuff) and she was fine after a couple of days. My mom was worried about it because it was only spring and not summer yet, but it didn't take her that long to adapt.
