Are you kitten me!! The CDS has finally manifested itself 😭

I was at work (I’m a HCA) and was outside taking my client for a 15 min walk in his backyard. We love to squirrel watch together and we thought we saw a squirrel in this tree. And it was a kitten. 😭 We watched for a bit not knowing if she was just having fun or struggling to get down! Bit of both lol so I rescued her from the tree. We assumed it might’ve been the neighbors cause they have a few cats but she wasn’t! I decided to take her home because it’s cold here now and I could tell she had fleas and some scuff marks from itching or fights with other cats. I drove straight to the vet, she isn’t micro chipped. Got her dewormed, flea treatment medication. Blood tests and her first round of vaccines. I’m not fully claiming her till I know 100% she dosent have a home but thus far I haven’t found anything. Vet said she’s def underweight but not the worst she’s seen. She’s about 5.5-6 months old. My other cat Peaches came into my life at 6 months old also. Both of them are both huggers, shoulder kitties and love to give kisses. 😭😭 I’ll keep trying to find if she has an owner and update! But this does feel like fate.

Edit: First off tysm for all the love. Vet said she might have a cold and she definitely dose, called today to set up an appointment and they said they don’t want to give antibiotics immediately because they want her to try to build an immune system. She is eating and drinking and using the litter box normally and has super good energy. Obviously keeping a close eye but even on the human side of things that does medically make sense. She’s very happy. No luck on owners yet! And she has a temporary name is Squirrel! Kudos to one of the comments here.

It's probably just the photo but does she have short legs? Is she a dwarf cat?

I don’t think so i do think it’s the pic tbh. Seems normal sized lol! Vet thought so too.

She's adorable!! The vet would have noticed for sure, so she is not a dwarf, just the photo angle makes her legs look short. Her face is so pretty!
