Hello @Michele McFricke,

You can access Catholic records for Augsburg at the online site Matricula.

Here is the link for the parishes in the Diocese of Augsburg: https://data.matricula-online.eu/en/deutschland/augsburg/

Note the blue bar on the right side of the page. These are the names of the different parishes in the Diocese of Augsburg -- these are arranged alphabetically.

Scroll through the list of towns until you come to Augsburg. You will find that there are six parishes within the city of Augsburg. You would need to look through each parish for baptisms ("Taufen") for the year 1833, looking specifically for the birth/baptismal record for Franziska Zettler in February 1833. Note that Catholic children are baptized very soon after birth, sometimes the same day as the birth, or one or two days later.

If you are unfamiliar with the Matricula website, here is a link that provides instructions on how to get started: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/img_auth.php/b/b7/1-Instruction_Matricula_Online.pdf
