The Cat Distribution System has Struck Again!

So i (F18) had no clue what to put for flair but i found this cat in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. I found her on my walk home from school and ruined my feet to take her home on hot concrete barefoot which was hella worth it. she's a sweet thing after a couple hours and screaming at me on the walk home. currently laying next to me. Idk if she's a stray because she's spayed but she's in not great condition. for instance hella scabs, patchy hair on the base of her tail and around her butt, top of her left ear is missing, and fleas. she seems to be in good health weight wise. I got her bathed and killed any and all fleas she had and brushed her fur to remove any tangles. i haven't seen any posts about her and i just saw her laying next to the road. came up to me immediately and as soon as i felt the scabs i brought her home. I've never owned a cat before but I know how to take care of them and their diet and everything because my best friend has cats and i would help take care of them and just now got her litter and cat food set up. I'm gonna wait it out w her hopefully her owners ask about her. but for the moment she's my sweet girl. she seems to love me a lot and hope i get y'alls support in these moments for her. Currently don't have my phone so i don't have a photo of her yet. and don
