We've had two cats left at the shelter that had a similar problem. They were long-haired cats that had been allowed to get very matted. Both had to be taken in, sedated, and shaved.
One decided to hide behind the litter box.
The other, well, i asked him if i could take his picture and
Yes, they are both going to be just fine, as soon as their hair grows back out.
