Sounds like he is way outmatched by the other males (size, age and experience). And he will likely stay that way (possibly for years), especially if he has been declawed or neutered. You cannot give him fighting lessons, only another cat could. Unless you get it a cat door that only opens for him, there isn\\\’t much you can do other than turn him into a housecat - 24/7. At least it sounds smart enough to not allow itself to get seriously injured.

Something I have thought of, but never tried. If someone at your place is handy at building things, you could get him a cat house. Like a dog house, except the entrance way should be like a tunnel with a low ceiling (less than four inches) and six to eight inches front to back, and perhaps six inches wide. Plenty of room inside to lie down or stand up. This idea is based on some of my cats hiding under low cars, because it is harder to attack a cat under a car, but is easier to defend (against a single cat). The house would allow your cat to defend itself against five cats, because they could still advance on him only one at a time through his tunnel/entrance.

well that happend to my old cat charlie and what we did we got a harmless trap cause I didint want to harm the cat and the cat got cout and he never came back when we let him go and if you see the cat the might be hurting the stray then well there is your answer

he probably has a disadvantage of some sort (no claws, authorities a disease) and he can be picked on. your only options are to make hi a house cat 24/7 or build that thingy that jpete said or get a dog to defend it
