So sorry about your cat. You could call some local rescues or shelters in your area and see if anyone can help your cat get some veterinary care. That is very nice that you rescued him from an abused home and I hope you can find someone to help, especially if he has a broken leg or rib. For the diarrhea, you could buy a broad spectrum dewormer at a pet store and see if that helps. If he has parasites, it might help the diarrhea but it sounds like he really needs to see a vet. Hope you find some help!
