If nothing else call animal control  or better yet your local humane society.  Dont let her starve.  Our first cat was a pregnant female who was slowly starving to death - found her eating bread a pizza crusts I was feeding my chickens.  took her to the Humane Society, got her kittens aborted, her spayed  and we adopted her.  She lived in a little heated box I fixed up in my shop for her for a few years till she was finally brave enough to come live in the house.  Ended up spending several thousand dollars to try to get her well when she contracted cancer from a bad Fort Dodge rabies vaccine.

She was worth it and we still miss her.

Lots of old people in my neighborhood that have "outside" cats. I don't think she's a stray just likes to roam

I have the best kitties in the whole wide world.

LG - is that a snowshoe siamese ?  I had one that adopted me  and I had him for 18 years - he was my buddy and was very vocal.  Currently I have two orange tabby's.

He's a ditch kitty. His mom is jet black. His dad looks just like him. He very rarely utters a peep. Our orange tabby is a month younger and is very vocal. They're both big cats. The white one is 10 months and the orange one is 9 months. White one is 12 pounds and the orange one is 13 pounds.

So, this ditch kitty is completely obsessed with running water. Turn on a sink anywhere in the house and he'll come running even if he was fast asleep to try to drink the running water and slap at it. He will try to get into the shower with you. He is also all about climbing into your chest when you're lying in bed and laying all up in your face. Orange kitty wants to snuggle up beside you, ditch kitty wants to lay on you and all up in your face.

Another one showed up a few days ago. We have some feral cats around but they act like legit wildcats (obviously since that's where the first kitty came from). Rarely seen and won't let you get within 50 yards of them. This kitten was not feral. Immediately came up to us, rubbing on our legs, willing to be picked up, not afraid of dogs, etc. It was super skinny so we started feeding it and it has hung around. It's already starting to fill back out. Since it hung around I busted out one of the dog crates to put it in at night with all the owls and coyotes around. I don't think the poor guy has felt safe enough to get a good sleep in weeks. I opened the door this morning and he hasn't left the crate yet. Still sleeping. Gave it flea and tick treatment yesterday and gonna run over and grab some dewormer for it here in a bit.

Can't no new box come in this house that this cat don't claim it as his new home. You can barely get the goods out of the box before he's in it. LOL

I know he's not a ragdoll because I found him in a ditch and his mom was jet black but good grief, he looks just like a pure ragdoll blue eyes and all.

Pretty cat.  And I wouldn't say that just cause you found him in a bad spot he can't be a rag doll or other high bred type.  Cats can be notorious for getting themselves lost from their original owners and as you know not all owners are deserving of their pets either - My snowshoe siamese was about the prettiest cat I've ever seen,  blue eyes and all and he just wandered in one winter looking for a home, half starved,  as a full grown adult.  Have you had yours checked for a chip ?

No, I mean I know he isn't because his mom was jet black. He's definitely not chipped because he was literally days old when I found him abandoned. She moved the nest and left him. The vet estimated him to be two, maybe three days old at most.
