Listlessness and fever can have many causes. Heat can impair a cat’s cooling and cause poor appetite and warmth.
If heat is ruled out, the cat is likely ill; many diseases such as upper respiratory infection show these signs.
If symptoms persist, take the cat to a vet to confirm the cause and treat.

Listless and feverish after eating is a vet-now situation in my book, that can be anything from a bad batch of food to an obstruction or infection. Mine once spiked a temp from a gut bug and needed fluids within a day, so I wouldn't wait. Keep her warm, offer water, and get her in, and bring the food label in case it's a contamination thing, that helps the vet.
