My new stray cat is sneezing, snotty, and has eye issues. Is he sick?

Question

A few weeks ago, I took in a stray cat. He sneezes constantly and produces a lot of snot. Recently, his eves must be wiped a few times a day or they get stuck shut. I just wiped my cat's fur down with some baby wippes and they turned brown. I don't know anything much about cats, and he's going to the vet at the end of the month. Are these symptoms of something?Should I move the appointment closer? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

Hi. These are signs most likely of an upper respiratory infection. These can be viral or bacterial infection nature. They could also be increased by allergies as well. I do recommend moving up your appointment so that treatment can get started before it gets worse.
