Oh my. Poor kitty. Because of the pus and infection, this kitty will need to be seen by your vet to get kitty on prescription antibiotics. I would recommend taking this kitty in to the vet asap. Keep kitty warm as much as you can until you can get him seen. I hope that your kitty survives this burtal attack. Best of luck moving forward. Take care. : )
