Finding her a home of her own in the future may be a really good thing. Right
now, lose on top of lose on top of lose it would be so hard on her.
I don't care for the plugins at all. Others like them. I can control what the
spray is on and not on. And it has just worked better for me. Someone on the
list mentioned a knock off that works as well as Feliway. Some of the super
chains like Meijer's has it (at a lot lower cost than vets etc). I think the
last I bought was about $15 a bottle. Don't even ask what the first bottle
cost.

Hi Marylyn,
I just think that a lot of cats would want their own people, rather than
being in my noisy, chaotic house where it is hard for a kitty to get some room
to herself, and none of them really get enough attention (in my opinion). But
that may not be what she wants. It is difficult for me to tell yet.
I will get some Feliway spray next payday. What do you think of the plugins?
Are they also usefull, or not?

Please don't even think about adopting her out, at least for a long time.
Can you imagine all the things that are going thru her mind???? Try putting
feliway spray on your hand when you want to pet her. Honestly, it helped so
much with the Royal Princess Kitty Katt and with several ferals.

She's MUCH better as of last night. Ate a whole bowl of food, and let me
come very close to touching her, then put her paw out to stop me (no claws this
time, though.).
I'm not sure of the next step. I can put her on anti anxiety meds, but
if she's ok with me I won't know if they are working. I don't think I can take
a chance on adopting her out at this point.

This is very true. Dixie Louise, who is a very laid back cat, snarled
at a friend who had on a strange fragrance.

Kelley,
Do you wear any scents....or are you a smoker? It may take her a
while to get used to your smell....or lack of if her owner used perfume or
smoked.

No, I don't think she is feral at all. Her ex-guardian had her
since 8 weeks of age, per the medical records she gave me. (she's had WAY too
many shots, IMHO - the vet we have inside Petsmart here seems to be quite the
ripoff joint).
She doesn't seem to like my voice, she bares her teeth and hisses
at me when she hears it.
Seems pretty indifferent to other cats so far (I shoo them out when
they go in her room, but she pays no mind to them).

Keep in mind that apparently she's not feral, just terrified.
Give her time, and try tasty stuff (like the fried chicken - great idea). Talk
to her soothingly.

Oh, she also hasn't eaten since she got here. I have tried her
regular food (they brought the remains of a bag over), pill pockets (with no
pills in them - my cats love them), freeze dried shrimp, yucky Pounce treats,
and canned food. Next I am going to try tuna. There's no way I can syringe
her, and I can't get her to a vet without trapping her, which usually involves
food. So I just have to hope that she eats, I guess. Judging from my cats,
maybe I should try white bread - they think that is the best thing going!

If you are able to touch her ears, I would ask the vet to
prescribe benadryl to be compounded at a compounding pharmacy into transdermal
cream to rub inside her ear. My Patches has been on this for years for
anxiety. She was prescribed it because she was pulling her fur out of her
belly and back legs, and the benadryl stopped that. But she also used to go
after the other cats, and the benadryl pretty much stopped that too. If I
forget to give it to her, it is noticeable because she goes after Lucy and
sometimes even me. With the benadryl she is pretty much fine. It does not seem
to make her groggy at all-- she is quite perky and energetic-- but just takes
the edge off I guess.
