Poor kitty. It should be ok to give her a laxative to help her poop if she is straining to go. However, I would strongly suggest taking her in to a vet soon as you can to have her looked at. Hopefully she contines to have a good attitude, eat and remains stable until you can get her seen. I wish Hope well moving forward. Take care.
