Cat scratch fever is caused by the bacteria Bartonella. Depending on the symptoms and the severity of his condition, his chance for living are highly variable. I would recommend getting him on antibiotics and anti inflammatory medication in order to increase his likelihood of recovery. This is particularly true if he is carrying a fever and having any sort of changes to his blood work. Hope this makes sense. .
