Make sure, if you feed chicken baby food (an excellent eating inducer for cats reluctant to eat), that it doesn't have garlic or onions in it, as both are toxic to cats. There is also a concentrated calorie-rich food supplement in a tube meant to get some calories into cats that don't want to eat or to supplement the diets of nursing mothers. That is Nutrical, which you can get at Petco or other local pet supply stores.

You can liquify the baby food or Nutrical by adding a bit of water to make it easier to feed to the cat in a feeding syringe. Those are made especially to feed baby birds, sick cats & dogs, etc. They don't have a needle or rubber gasket and are made, unlike injection syringes, to use over and over again. You can get feeding syringes at pet supply places like DrsFosterSmith.com. With respect to urgent need, you could use whatever syringe your vet can give you until this would arrive.

But the first ingredient is corn syrup. She has diabetes. So I don’t think it would work.
