...many towns or counties have volunteer groups that "catch and release" feral animals. They 'catch' them, have them spayed or neutered if old enough, give them any of the needed shots for life on the streets, usually nip an ear to let everyone know they have been properly vaccinated, give them a little love and cuddlng and set them back where they were found to rejoin their friends.
If you suspect this precious little one is the child of a stray, you may try to locate and reach out to such a group in your area and possibly help them to locate and care for her mom and dad, so that more babies don't suffer the fate of her sibling.
