He definitely must see a vet as he needs an antibiotic injection, i can't recommend any home treatment in this case i'm afraid, it would be irresponsible from my part. If money is an issue please contact a cat charity in your area of living, they can help with costs of treatment in many cases. Many vets also have payment plans, and there is also a credit company that will land you money toward vet bills ( https://www.carecredit.com/vetmed/) .
