Its eye won’t open, pus is flowing, and when I peel it open I can barely see the eyeball; it’s swollen.

A cat’s eye with pus that won’t open can have many causes, including eye inflammation, eye trauma, or immune disease. Fighting or other injury can infect the eye, and conditions like conjunctivitis or keratitis also cause pus and inability to open.
Herpes virus infection can also cause these signs. Take the cat to a vet promptly for an eye exam to confirm the cause and treat it specifically.
