Take the car on the freeway and do about 80MPH to "cure" the cat.
I remember when I had my 1975 Vega, new.
First year for CCs.
That car stunk like a rotten egg! From the new CC
You're fine.
The visual? No idea.
Good news? I hope!!!

I hope that th' KID is right, that its just the cat - but I had a sulfur smell one time (in a VW) it was the voltage Reg sticking & overcharging the battery - boiling off the water. Hope that that's not it, but just thought I mention it -
Had a terrible smell in my car one time - but I changed my sox and it went away -

99% of them are, these days.
If that fails, wanna go to Santa Monica by the beach for a test person?
You got options!
