My cat burned his paws! What to do?

To start off, my cat is an in door cat. He is always wanting to go out but we live in apartments and next to a busy road, plus because of the economy we don't have enough money for him to see a vet if something really bad happens. Well, wanting him to get out of the house I put a leash on him and took him in the car to drive some where. He liked it. When we got back he jumped out and ran on the pavement then upstairs to go home. Then I realized he was limping and burned and peeled his paws. Immediately I took some peroxide and put it on the wounds, of course he was in pain, then to keep them clean I dressed them with cotton and athletic tape (not on the wounds put to keep the cotton in place). Later I'm going to get neosporin to rub on them and I'm going to redress them four times a day to keep it clean. The first sign of infection he is going to the vet, but I think I'm doing a good job. My friend's dog had the same problem and they took her to the vet he just said to put peroxide on them and to have some antibiotics (because she ran away and they couldn't find her for days and they expected her paws to be infected). Since I took care of it right away I see very little danger. Can you give me some advice on what to do? Thanks
