My cat fell from a high place and won't move or eat. What should I do?

Question

My cat got out last night from the window, i living in the 5th floor. I putted out a poster later a neighbor brought her back to me. There was no clear injury, she got some tiny scratch around her lips, she can walk slowly. I checked her, one of her front paw may have a scratch, I can touch it but she seems uncomfortable with that front paw, there no bruise nor blood. She doesn't want to move, eat nor drink. is she just in shock? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 months and 24 days old | 11 lbs

Oh dear, poor Meow! Since she is not moving, eating or drinking, my main concern is that she has experienced significant trauma in her travels, either from a long fall or being hit by a car. These traumatic events can cause major head trauma, rib fractures, or internal injuries that can be quite severe and painful. At this point, Meow needs to go to an emergency vet immediately for evaluation and treatment. I hope this helps and that all goes well!
