Yes - there are a few options. You might try a hairbuster: https://store.binkybunny.com/hairbuster-p116.aspx?widget=mp
It works really well for my jersey wooley, but my flemmie hates it and runs and hides when I try to comb him with it. Some people use something more like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TT6SP1C?psc=1 You do have to be very gentle as rabbit skin is very delicate and you don't want to scrape them with the bristles.
This is fairly common in older cats. There are a few things that you can do.
First, a professional grooming is in order, not just a bath, but have them cut his belly, inner leg short. Not to skin, but quite short. Not only will this give you a good baseline, but it will greatly reduce the formation of those undercarriage mats from forming.
Once this is done, I recommend daily maintenance brushing with a few different types of brushes. I like to use a metal comb, the kind with two different teeth distances. A slicker brush, the kind that has little rubber nubs on the end of the brush teeth so it isn’t straight wire on skin. And I like to finish the undercarriage area with a flea comb because it has such a small space between teeth. Now, if you do this everyday it should not take more than a few minutes and some days you can only use the flea comb and slicker brush on the areas that tend to form mats. The key is to brush regularly to prevent mats before they form, because as you know, once they form it is more difficult to get them out.. for him and you.
The only other advice is to make sure you are actually getting in there with the grooming. Obviously you don’t want to hurt him, but I have found most people are so afraid that they aren’t effectively brushing. They stop at the first sign of complaint from the cat, but you should be able to tell the difference between complaint and injury. Remember, cats are like children, they might not like it, but you know that a few minutes of consistent discomfort with save them from much more discomfort later.
