2 days ago while i was taking out the trash at the corner of my eye i saw what appeared to be a skunk (because where i live my neighborhood has a bit of a problem with skunks but not that many luckily) then i jumped back, got scared and screamed but it wasnt a skunk.
It was a really cute tuxedo kitten that approached me :3
And i also felt bad because the kitten looked sad and lonely but i couldnt bring her into my house because
1. I have a puppy and i was scared that she would hurt the kitten (because her teeth and nails HURT and shes only 4 months old).
2. My dad probably wouldnt approve of another pet in the house considering how much of a pain a 4 month old mutt gives us.
3. Also my dad said that im allergic to cats but idk if its true or not because i remember i saw a orange cat at a pet shop once and the owner let me pet it and i didnt have any allergic reactions idk i think its a lie because before getting a puppy i asked him about wanting to have a cat before.
4. The kitten might have already have a owner but idk i dont remember seeing a collar on it to confirm because it was too dark (also why would you let your kitten be outside at night?).
And 5. I was scared that it might have some sort of disease that could be contagious to a human (no joke if i get 1 tummy ache im already on a coma).
So yeah with without any options i went inside and as i was entering my home i looked back and i saw the kitten sitting staring at me looking sad and i genuinely felt bad for it i really wanted to cry which i eventually did later why didnt i bring it with her? Couldnt i atleast convince my dad to keep it? or atleast take care of it and eventually give it out to a pet adoption center or someone i know? Look i know this isnt my fault but i feel like a asshole for not doing anything about it literally feeling like the worst human being right now.
I even came back later to see if the kitten was still near but the kitten was long gone god i FUCKING hate myself for letting this happen im only imagining what bad things the poor kitten is experiencing right now without proper care from a owner or a mother cat.
Im sorry that you're reading this but i hate when i see animals in these conditions one thing that Fluttershy from mlp taught me is to always take care of animals when they are in these conditions and i didnt and thats why im regretting my life decisions during that day im sorry i talked too much here sorry im at the verge of almost crying again :(

I think you are overreacting.
You can read up on cat allergy on your own, but as for the kitten there are multiple possibilities. Among other things, putting a collar on a cat (of any age) is a pointless endeavor that most experienced cat owners will give up on immediately. And if it really was abandoned another person, who actually had the capacity to help might have adopted it.
Lastly: Telling the actual mood of a cat can be quite tricky. I am assuming that you are rather young and without some serious cat/kitten experience it is hard to tell if it was actually "sad" or if it was just hot, chilly, hungry, upset, disoriented or something else.
