My cat has severe bloody diarrhea for days, what should I do?

Question

My cat has severe diarrhea. He uses his litter box a few times, then goes anywhere and everywhere. I've noticed bloody/mucous in the diarrhea. It goes from light brown/tan, to dark brown. Several times a day, going on for 2-3 days now. I've stopped feeding him for the last 8 hours. We did switch cat foods. Initially thought that was the problem, but now I don't know. He is 2-3 years old. Rescue cat. Had shots & was treated for an infection 4 weeks ago. Also received a pill for worms. Please help. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 8 lbs

Garfield seems to be suffering from a severe gastrointestinal condition, i do not recommend to stop feeding him, this can do more harm than good in cats, you need to take him to the vet as soon as you can in order to get treated, he will probably need an antibiotic course , a special prescription food and some meds to stop the diarrhea.
