We found a cat about two years starved and red eye and cloudy eye. It's eating and drinking and seams to be doing better than last nigh. She has a very strong urine odor. What to do?

Hi there and thanks for posting.
Kitty may have an eye infection from a viral or bacterial infection that may be causing the red eye. A cloudy eye can be caused by cataracts, a viral infection, or other ocular disease.
Strong odor urine can be caused by a urinary tract infection.
I would recommend Kitty be examined by her veterinarian soon so that a definitive diagnosis can be made and she can receive the appropriate treatment. That is the best thing you can do for her to help her feeling well soon :)
I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
