Your best bet is towel drying... If you don't want to use a new towel go to the goodwill and get one from there... If you don't towel dry your cat and use a hair dryer then you risk getting your cat sick...

You do have to be very careful with a hair dryer and really a couple of towels is the best way. Why wouldn't use a towel? Cats hate the bath and they usually love the great massage they get from being dried off with a towel.

there's actually a microwave with warnings that say "do not use to dry pets!"
but most cats will lick of excess water and then air dry the rest of the way.
but cats like to be wrapped in towels and blankets with their heads covered. this calms them down. so i'm sure you could just use a towel.

Brushing the cats hair will help it to dry out faster. I have found that brushing my cats' hair while they are drying off cuts the drying time a LOT.

A cat will never dry without a towel or hair dryer.
That's why they are called, "domesticated" animals.

I have an electric heater that I use to warm the bathroom before and after I bathe my cats. I put it in a corner where the cat can feel the warmth blowing off of it but not get burned by it and I always supervise the cat when the heater is on. Sometimes she likes it, sometimes she just wants to get out of the bathroom. She's a very smart cat, she learned that if she lays on me after a bath, I get wet and she gets dry.

I finger-dry -- gently rub with finger until fur is fluffy then comb or brush. But a gentle blotting with an old towel is a good start.
I really despair of the bad jokes...

Good luck. Let them run around the house, if you don't mind a maybe wild, and surely wet and mad cat jumping all over the place. Best to use a towel right away.

Use a towel first and then let the cat air dry. You can brush him every few minutes so his coat looks nice.
