help my hurt kitty use the litter and drink water

My year old kitten fell off of my 3 story balcony landing on pavement. I took her to the vet and she has fractured her pelvis. My question is, if she is not using the litter because of the pain, What can I do to make this easier for her.It has been close to 24 hours since the fall. The ex-rays show that her bladder is quite full. And although the Vet gave her a pain patch it does not seem to be helping in this situation. I have her in a dog kennel for 8 weeks, the litter is in there with her. Also she has never drank out of a bowl, rather, she uses the bathroom tap, is there any other method I can try, as she just knocks the bowls over. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Pain relief: She probably needs a higher dose of pain killer. Cats have an incredible tolerance for pain-killers, the degree to which you dose a cat would knock out a human. == Consult the vet on this; you may need to switch to daily pills or a daily liquid dose.
   
Also: consider acupuncture for cats. It appears to work; call the vets in your Yellow Pages, see if they can refer you to a cat acupuncturist.
   
Healing process: For improved joint health: buy Cosequin Regular Strength For Dogs & Cats. (It's cheaper than the "For Cats" version.) The dose for the average cat (10-13 lbs) is a half-capsule daily. I would empty half the contents of the capsule into the cat's food & close the other half contents back into the gelatin capsule. Mix it with a little canned cat food. (It made my old creaky 13-yr-old cat lively again; since your cat probably also has sore muscles & joints, it could help. It certainly can't hurt.)
   
She does need to be kept quiet. Suggestion: A cat heating pad or bed may help the pain; heat usually does. Cat heating pads/beds heat to 101 degrees F, which is a cat's usual temperature. These pads can be found on Amazon & in catalogs (I favor the Drs. Foster & Smith [DrsFosterSmith] and CareALotPets websites. The heat level is so low, they can be left on pretty much all the time.
   
Tranquilize the cat: this may lessen her anxiety over the pain & make her more willing to try using the litter box. Try Feliway (pherome-based) or one of the valerian or chamomile-based products; the pet store carries the plant-based versions. Amazon also has Feliway (way cheaper than the vet.) Check with the vet, make sure the valerian doesn't conflict with any medications (chamomile wouldn't have that problem).
   
Drinking: Get one of the fountain-style water dishes. They retail for about $45.00; Amazon has a Drinkwell & a Petmate Deluxe Freshflow for $28.62 w/free shipping. The use carbon filters & will probably satisfy the running-water preferences of the cat. I have one, they work well.
   
Litter box usage: When you go back to the vet about the pain treatment, ask what you can do to encourage her to go to the bathroom. Ask for the best way to soften her stool, so it moves easier.
   
Also, ask him if steroids would help the healing process; if he hedges, insist he justify why they won't work. (This really is a case for steroids, it's what they're meant for.)
   
An old post from 2006 (on this site) (I Googled) stated that giving the cat 1 tsp. of butter with her meal helped move her bowels easier. (Use the link below to the post.) Most cats like how butter tastes.

Your vet will have to physically express the bladder for you by hand or using a syringe. She should be staying at the vets office and not at home until she is urinating, deficating and eating and drinking. Go back to the vets.
