I have found a kitty at my apartment door that was roaming. She is just a small thing and so pretty. I have given her a bath and sprayed for ticks/fleas. Was wondering if anything else I should just look for. I am not going to take to vet yet until I can see if can find owner. I just need suggestions

It might be a good idea to phone a few vets in your area anyway, in case the kitten has been reported missing. Maybe the shelter too - any pet shelter.

Just to make sure she has food(cat) and water. You didn't say if you have other cats - if you don't, you can make a quick litter box out of a cut-down cardboard box; cover any gap in the bottom with heavy tape.

You might want to take a stool sample to a vet just to get it checked.

Does she look pretty healthy? Is her energy good?

I do have another kitty, I have put the new one in the big bathroom for the moment and seems healthy though kinda cuddly at the moment but that maybe from her being scared.

Put up posters that says 'Cat FOund' and information about her like gender, age, breed, etc. Call shelters and vets to see if there is a reported cat missing.
That's great she is healthy. I would just take her to the vet for a check up though just in case. Good luck.

You didn't say where you're located, but if you are in the United States, you can post her at both of these web sites to help locate an owner:

Please be sure to get the new kitty FIV/FeLV tested before letting her out with your current kitty.

Good luck and thank you for taking care of her.
