I just skimmed Rising Storm a little bit, and this scene here had me question: Did Cinderpelt do the right thing to heal the ShadowClan cats? In return, Littlecloud felt extremely loyal to her, but she took a risk by betraying Bluestar and she knew she wasn't over Tigerclaw's betrayal, and not only that, but Cinderpelt was risking her own life by getting the sickness just by being near them. What do you think? "Cinderpelt! What are you doing here?" Fireheart spun around to face the medicine cat. "Did you know about this?"
A pile of herbs lay between Cinderpelt's paws. She lifted her chin defiantly. "They needed my help. There was nothing for them in the camp but sickness."
"So they came straight back!" Fireheart glades at her angrily. "Where did you find them?"
"Near Sunningrocks. I smelled their sickness when I was out collecting herbs yesterday. They were looking for a safe place to hide," explained Cinderpelt.
"And you brought them here." Fireheart snorted. "They probably only came back onto our land because they knew you'd take pity on them." Cinderpelt's concern for the ShadowClan cats had been obvious when they were in the ThunderClan camp. "Did you think you could treat them without any cat finding out?" Fireheart demanded. He couldn't believe that Cinderpelt had exposed herself - and the rest of the clan - to such a risk.
Cinderpelt met his eyes, undaunted. "Don't pretend you're really angry with me. You feel just as sorry for them," she reminded him. "You couldn't have turned them away a second time either!"
Fireheart could see that she believed she had done the right thing, and he has to admit the truth in her words - he couldn't deny he felt sorry for the sick cats, and.je had felt uncomfortable with Bluestar's lack of compassion. "Does Yellowfang know?" he asked, his anger fading.
"No, I don't think so," answered Cinderpelt.
"How sick are they?"
"They're starting to recover," Cinderpelt allowed a hint of satisfaction to enter her voice.
"I still smell sickness," Fireheart meowed suspiciously.
"Well, they're not completely cured her. But they will be."

Yes, because I believe that if you see sick cats that you have the ability to heal you should try to heal them. I think that it was really brave of Cinderpelt to do that especially when she was risking so much.

Yes she did the right thing. Even if it was a huge risk since Yellowfang did also say the sickness was deadly. Cinderpelt was able to find a cure for it and in the end it made Littlecloud into a medicine cat, which he is proud to be.

it was a risk but tbh i think it was her duty as a medicine cat to not just let somebody die without at least trying to help them

Absolutely. Those cats were innocent. And any good medicine cat will want to help an injured or sick cat. Medicine cats go behind their leaders' backs time and time again if the situation calls for it.
It's like Leafpool healing Sunrise even though The Sisters and the clans were not getting on at the time. Or Kestrelflight giving herbs behind Onestar's back. Sometimes the leader isn't always right
