If he won’t let you bathe him, wipes or taking him to a groomer are options.

Additionally, try to determine the cause of the smell. If he smells like “rear end”, he may have an abscessed wound. My latest cat was an outdoor cat at his last home. When I got him, he smelled so unbelievably foul that we seriously second guessed ourselves for taking him in. We had to open the windows in the car when we took him home. It turned out that the smell was the festering wound he had suffered while on one of his adventures. After we had the vet flush the wound and pump him full of antibiotics, the smell almost instantly disappeared. No bath necessary!

So, yes, baths/wipes are good… but also CHECK HIM OUT for any signs of injury.
