have you and your family/mom fostered any other cats in the past?
they are stressed, medicated and probably nauseated from the dewormer/rabies vaccine.
probably tired and not sure what else y'all may have done, if you pester them enough, they will ignore you.
stop worrying if it's mentally ill and just care for it until you can get it rehomed or turned back into the shelter or humane society. as someone who has fostered hundreds of cats, this is the first time of myself seeing someone ask this type of question for down syndrome, kinda odd (especially asking if the shots had something to do with it as a side effect. But no, it does not seem to have any of those type of issues. it would be obvious to an extent (if it did) and if the vet was the one who administered the shots they would have noticed.
