As long as she is eating something! And drinking some water. At this point, you give her whatever she wants to eat or can eat. She is fighting a terrible problem. When we are sick, we don't feel like eating much either. The URI should be gone in a week or so. Back in the 80's, we adopted a shelter cat and she ended up with a URI. Very common issue in shelters. I don't remember that she didn't eat -- it was just fun trying to get the pill and nose drops in her. But we survived and she lived to be 17 years old.
Syringing food is very common. I've had to do that with my bengal when he was sick and didn't want to eat. You are truly doing what you can for this little baby! I am sure as soon as she feels better, her appetite will come back. She is away from the shelter and other cats and has individualized love and care, which is what all cats need.
Keep us updated, please.
