I get that you don’t want a cat. Please let animal control catch it (cage within 24 hours, possibly in your yard), it will get spayed/neutered, shots & released. You don’t have to feed it, maybe put fresh water out frequently for a few days so the cat can heal & have a chance to hunt for food. Maybe ask around your block if anyone is interested in feeding a feral cat. The cat will move on.
Re: mailbox. You need to physically visit the closest Post Office & give your address. Possibly take a picture of the group mailboxes your neighborhood uses. The Post Office probably owns the mailboxes, so unfortunately you have to pay to have the lock changed($30 or so) and you’ll get 3 keys. It may take a little while(2 weeks), so you can probably pickup your mail at whichever Post Office they direct you to. Be sure to take your lease and/or a utility bill with your name & address where you rent to prove that is your address. I know it’s frustrating. If you are blessed with good health, this is just a bump in the road. Take a walk & enjoy yourself.
