My stray cat has pinkish-red bumps near its anus. What is it?

Question

i found a stray cat this morning and took it but i wanted to know why his anus has small pimple looking bumps and it looks pinkish/reddish. That is not his anus in the pic but it’s the closest i could find although it is not as bad as the one in the pic. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

Hello, and thank you for your question. Reddish bumps on his anus could be a tumour, a polyp or wart, or a partial rectal prolapse. It is impossible to say for sure without seeing it directly, so I would recommend getting Simba seen by the vet within the next few days, or earlier if he seems in discomfort. They may be able to determine the cause just by observation alone, or may recommend a fine needle aspirate to pinpoint the nature of the mass. In the meantime, if he is licking or biting the bum area, I would suggest putting an e-collar (cone) on his head to prevent further trauma. I hope this helps, and that your little stray cat gets better soon!
