    That picture is a bit blurry, but it looks to me like the pink sac you're talking about could be the internal organs. Get a clearer picture; if it's just muscle tissue, she might have a chance (given, it'd be a pretty tough rehab even then) but if it's what I think it is euthanasia is the most humane option. Many vets are willing to euthanize animals such as this for little to no charge, so you can call around and ask.

    If that isn't an option, there are people on here who have experience doing in-home euthanasia that could walk you through that.

    In addition to veterinarians, your local wildlife rehabilitator will have access to a vet or the means of humane euthanasia. Thanks for trying to help this little guy out. Unfortunately he is another example of the negative impact of outdoor cats.

    Great job in your lifesaving actions! A evisceration and deep puncture wounds are critical. Coupled with a possible severed spine and neurological compromise equals emergency! Hoping you can get him there. Keep us updated! Thanks again.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.
