So I had my car sitting in the driveway for about two months I decided to turn it on one day and when I did I turned the AC on, but it was blowing real hot air. At the beginning I thought it was normal due to how long it was sitting but after a couple days it was still doing it. I came to find out later that during those two months there was a rat under the car and I believe it messed with the refrigerant due to how hot it was during the summer. Do you know what I could do or what is the first step to fix this problem?

If there was a rat involved do not run the car until you check all the wiring for damage. They love to chew wires and hoses. I doubt the issue is the AC charge, more likely the wires to the compressor clutch are gone. But you will want to check every harness for damage. Repairing the damage could be easy or very hard depending on what was chewed. I have seen cars set for a couple days and need complete engine wiring harness replacement due to the amount of damage.
