Before you go to the vet, you need to slowly re-warm your pet by wrapping him in a warm blanket, placing a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel around his belly to keep his body warm. Give them warm (not hot) water to help warm them up from the inside out. So be careful in winter so that cats are not in danger.
