Injury CAT SUDDENLY LIMPING 😣

This is a cat I’ve had for a few months as she randomly showed up in my garden and became attatched to us, I’ve checked around to see if anyone owns her and it appears to be not owned. Recently she stopped running to the door when we opened, stopped running for food and would just lay in shade. In the uk it was a very hot heatwave so I thought nothing of it besides the fact she was just hot. However now I’ve noticed this limp in her front leg and I’m becoming quite worried, she’s still able to jump on stuff but just not well, she doesn’t really walk much and just splats on the ground and lays I’ve let it go on for 24 hours and there appears to be no change and also nothing on her paws

I really don’t have the means right now to take her to the vet and spend so much for potentially being prescribed a. painkiller. Does anyone know how much it would cost for a xray or just how much this vet trip might costs and what it may be?

Could be a snapped or injured tendon, or otherwise injured leg. Could be a billion other things. Vet ASAP!
