defiantly, there mammals, Isolate the animal in a warm area where they can't move around much if it is on there feet. warm water with Epsom salts soak not just warm water, and to prevent further bleeding wrap the wound with sugar on the infected area to prevent further bleeding. I'm a veterinarian technologist and Ive experienced this at work and this works, If it does not heal in a couple of weeks you may need to go to the veterinarian and get antibiotics.

Yes. A cat can get frostbite. Just because it has fur does not mean it does not get cold. They get frostbite on ears, tail and feet most often.
When a cat is exposed to extreme cold, frostbite will likely occur. The areas of a cat most usually to be affected are the ears, tail, and feet. Tissue damage results as circulation is impaired. At the start, the skin will appear pale. As thawing starts to occur, the skin will become, hot, red, and swollen. Peeling can sometimes also occur later on. It is very important to use caution when handling a cat who is suffering from frostbite because the skin will be extremely painful to the touch. Source 1 month ago Report Abuse
