Poor Sisi! I'm very sorry she may have gotten shot! Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do for her at home. She will need x-rays to see if she has been shot, surgery to remove the bullet, and medications to treat the pain and avoid infection. Please do not give her any human pain medications, many are toxic to cats and are fatal if given. She has to see vet now. I would see if your vet will accept payment plans, or if there is a low cost clinic in your area. I'm not sure if there are any rescue organizations in Lebanon, but if there are, you could contact them for help as well.
