Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If your dog got into a fight with a stray cat, and your dog isn't vaccinated for Rabies then I recommend you having your dog checked by a vet and discuss a vaccine. If Puku is OK and vaccinated then you can just monitor him for now. If he has wounds then I recommend a visit to the vet. If you have the stray cat and the cat is injured, you can take it to your local emergency clinic. They will try to find the owner and provide the necessary care. You will not be financially responsible for the stray, you will just drop it off and tell them where you found it, so they can try to find the owner. Best of luck with Puku.
