If seen cats jump off of trees from heights like this without injury. If you watch, it does the sugar glider / flying squirrel thing where it spreads out its folds like a kite.

Probably a safe distance to jump. My cat would regularly jump a similar distance, albeit onto thick carpet while I was growing up. Many cats just don't have enough mass to take a ton of damage from a fall like this.

I don't know if it's true but I heard once that cats can survive their terminal velocity, so going off that a young kitten should be fine with this distance.

Take your cat to a vet. Cats don't look hurt until they're in really bad shape; they are a prey animal, and don't want to appear vulnerable.
