It is ideal to take the cat to the vet so the injury can be checked over. The vet will likely give the cat painkillers and prescribe a week's course of antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection and allow the injury to heal. Thankfully, cat claws grow back quickly, provided the nail bed has not been damaged too badly.

Dipping the foot in cooled boiled salt water each day will also help keep the injury clean and again help prevent infection from developing.
