Found pigeon with missing tail feathers, possibly sick?

Found this bird at the carpark of a mall earlier, it's tail feathers seem to be going through a bad moult with being almost naked and all pin feathers.
It wasn't very responsive when I touched it, but did struggle a little when I picked it up, although it has seem to mostly been sleeping once I put it in my cat's carrier with some shredded paper for warmth.

It's legs seem to be curled up under it, and it was puffed up when I found it. No injuries from what I can tell, but it seemed to have trouble trying to stand.
