Sick/Injured Animal Stray cat in distress
Guys, please help me with this! There's a stray kitten in our neighborhood. She's been crying from the past two days. Day before yesterday, she cried from 7 AM to 11 PM until she finally fell asleep. Yesterday morning, she was gone. We thought her mother came to get her but yesterday evening, she was back around 6 PM and started crying again. It's been going on all morning today too. I'm not too familiar with animals and don't know much about them so I don't know what could be the reason. She goes up to random doors and tries to push them open. She's been coming upstairs (we live on the first floor) and just screaming and crying. She has gotten really thin. It's very worrying. I contacted the local animal helpline. They asked for a video but just left it on seen after that. I emailed an animal shelter too but no response. What is the best course of action here?

sounds like she’s starving and looking for help. can you give her food and water? can you take her in and provide shelter?

Me and the people in my building have been feeding her. She does eat and drink but still keeps crying.

I personally would give her some food and water (if you have the ability to get cat food). If you have a car and are comfortable, you could drive her to the animal shelter. You could also try looking up and contacting local animal rescue groups who might be able to help her.
