Thanks for the replies!
She originally belonged to the people in the apartment upstairs, but they tossed her outside because someone was allergic to cats. She was always hungry, and it was winter, and she developed an upper repiritory infection. That's when Tara took her in.
She went to the vet (6 months at that time) and got meds, but that was all. It took her a long time to get over the infection.
So this was her second trip to this vet. She's getting all her shots, had all tests run (all negative!) and tested for worms. She's perfectly healthy except for her size.
Kitty (she never got a real name because they didn't plan on keeping her) has been this size/weight for several months, and the vet only saw her two times, and I guess she thought she should be gaining weight each month. But Kitty has been this size since she was 6 months old, just never grew.
She's going to another vet for the rest of her shots and to determine if she can be spayed. We'll see what this one says
(edited to add:) She eats only dry food, and very little. She's one of those picky eaters who only takes a few bites at a time. They tried some canned food, she ate a little, but turned her nose up at the rest.
And I need to add she's a fiesty little thing. She tore that vet up, and her assistant. Tara overheard the vet say "she's just mean" which isn't true, she's a loving little thing, just doesn't like the vet
