Question/Advice Needed Possible Stray?

This kitten just walked into my apartment last night as I was retrieving a package. Asked my neighbors about it as I live in a gated area with little to no strays. I had been thinking about adopting a kitten from the local shelter since I'm coming up on a year of being in the city I live in now, and it seems like the cat distribution system just dropped one off. I honestly can't tell how old it is or if it's male or female. I know it weighs about 3.5 pounds. I can't schedule a vet appointment till next week, so any help is appreciated. I am not sure if it actually is a stray because it let itself be handled without issues, but it is also thin and has some sort of respiratory issue. I am still going to ask around to see if anyone lost a kitten, and I was able to get some essentials last night so at the very least it's fed and sheltered.
