She is wonderful just terrified as any of us would be.  Keep putting yourself 
in her place, small, homeless suddenly, new noises and smells ..............it 
is just awful for her but she is coming around and is beginning to understand 
you mean her no harm.  What we do to these little ones.  Keep talking to her 
and explaining things to her.  She really is calming down to the point that she 
can understand.

exclude any of God's creatures
                                                 from the shelter of compassion 
and pity, you will have men who 
                                                 will deal likewise with their 
fellow man.

      I wouldn't do the anti-anxiety as of yet, just let the cat food.  I'm so 
glad she's coming around - thought she would.

        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.

            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.
