 :Luv: :Luv: Aww bless her, and you for caring, she's lovely!

I would give her Classic food it's not expensive at all it's light and good for tums and very soft too so it's gentle on the mouth.   If her teeth are manky it may be upsetting her system too.

I would follow the found cat advice and get her checked for a chip if you've not already done so as someone may be missing her.  You could also try the paper collar asking if she belongs to anyone.  She may just be old and tiny though and a stray, fallen on hard times.

If she has so many teeth left, she may be relatively old. Being small is no indication, queens may be quite small. They may grow the size of a fully grown tomcat, but they may just as well stay as tiny as a 6 month old tom....
And she is very skinny, which will make her look even smaller.
But she is in good hands now, whe will perk up quite a bit, I guess...

With regards to feeding I would go with little and often to  start with ...small regular meals are what she needs.  I would imagine as soon as she calms down she will probably do some serious sleeping .... cats that have been outside for a while have been on high alert ... so if she is fed watered and safe she will take full advantage and crash out  :Luv2:
In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

Awww - poor thing.  well done for taking her in.  I hope she has an owner looking for her.  If she doesn't, would you consider keeping her?

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I was just trying to say that I had the experience that a starving cat wouldn't eat dry food and wondered if she had something wrong with her teeth. Not advising you to use Wellbeloved. (That was just what I was given by the rescue centre)

I fostered a cat and kittens that had been stray and the Mum was very thin and starving. I was advised to give her a good quality dry food (Wellbeloved) and also whiskas chicken or fish. I really wanted her to eat the dry food as it was better quality but she seemed to find it hard to eat so always went for the wet food. Eventually she started eating the dry as well. I wondered if she had problems with her teeth but they were fine.

She looks like a fully grown cat to me.
She has probably been living rough for quite a while if she is so shy, but if she will sniff your hand, she must, at one time, have been used to people.

Hopefully, she is missing and somebody is still looking for her, but she might just as well have been abandoned.....
