sugar water and cat food are not gecko good, and are not good for geckos even in the short term.

it is almost impossible to know how to help the gecko without a decent picture and at least your location in the world.

some places also have very strict laws about whether you can just pick up a native (or otherwise from the wild, even if invasive) species and keep it, even for a little while. this is a wild animal, and please bear in mind that it is rare for them to survive to a ripe old age and that this is part of nature.

IMO, the best way to help is to put it back where you found it. if you're dead-set on helping fix it, get it to a qualified wildlife rehabber for proper care, equipment, and knowledge.

I see you live in Israel. There are a several food choices.

For the very short term feed her turkey baby food. That's a lot better than chicken baby food. In the USA Gerber's Turkey Baby Food is the brand I've used. For longer term care I recommend Oxbow's Carnivore Care. That's a complete powdered all-in-one diet you mix with water. We can get it here directly from Oxbow or via Amazon.
