“How long does it take for a cat's footpad to heal?”

If the proper antibiotics, pain-relief medication, etc is being given and the patient is receiving proper bed rest, the wound may take as little as 2-3 weeks to fully heal. However, with it being a wound on the footpad and if the wound is being irritated regularly, then the wound will likely take longer to heal. If there is an underlying infection that is not being treated, the wound will take longer to heal as well. Either may prolong healing for an additional 2-4 weeks.
