She can't stand on her leg, it may be broken. I have put blankets down for her and made it so she could get comfy. She is finally sleeping and I will take her to the vet first thing in the am. It's not a compound fracture, but I'm worried that the waiting overnight will hurt her.

She should be fine.My cat,Patterson,jumped off the kitchen counter when he was 6 months old and fractured his hind leg.I didn't think it was broken,and tried cage rest for three days,but he wouldn't walk on it,and was clearly in pain,so I took him to the vet and sure enough,it was broken;he wore a cast for almost four weeks and for the first week,he wouldn't walk,he would ROLL across the floor! My vet said that he was the funniest cat she's ever seen! He's three years old and fine now.There were no complications from waiting.If it were a compound,then yes,you would need an emergency vet.Your cat should be fine until morning.Good luck.

If it's not a compound fracture, she should be able to wait until the morning. All I can suggest is to try to keep her as comfortable as possible until you can get her to the vet.
