I would not recommend repotting it right now because it may cause the plant more stress than it already has. I would see how the plant does in its own pot. Since it is a succulent it does not need that much water. Succulents store water in their leaves/stems. I water my succulents when the soil is completely dry throughout, you can use a toothpick to test how dry the soil is in your pot. If you pull the toothpick out and there is wet soil on the toothpick, the plant doesn’t need to be watered yet. I also water mine when I see the leaves of the plant starting to look shriveled. Watering succulents too much will cause them to get root rot quickly… If you don’t like the look of the yellow leaves I would cut them off and make room for new ones to grow later on. It should perk back up in a few weeks when the soil drys out! Lastly, I would recommend puting your plant by a sunny window, Felt Bushes require full direct sun, and well-draining cactus/succulent soil, and a well-draining pot with holes. I recommend Miracle-Grow Cactus, Palm, and Citrus Potting Mix I hope this helps! Good Luck!

Sure, any time!
I did the same thing with my succulents. When I bought them I did not think they were going to survive because they were overwatered. However they are still doing well 6 months later…
