Dehydrated stray cat vomiting, no vet. Can I give it an injection?

Question

I found a stray cat yesterday that is severely dehydrated. She ate and drank some water but threw it all up. Now it wouldn't eat on its own and I'm force feeding it through a syring. It seemed to be working today until I made the mistake of over feeding it and it threw everything up again. Now I'm giving it very small portions each time. Around 5ml or less at a time. My question is. Is there a solution that I could find in my local pharmacy that I could inject the kitten with? We have no vets. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2.202 lbs

I think the cat is sick to be causing the dehydration, so I don't think simply rehydrating it will be the answer. It could have a bacterial or viral infection, kidney failure, etc. I would recommend having the cat examined by a vet to determine what is going on to be causing the intense nausea.
