Maybe if you e-mail her pictures you've posted here of Macy getting skritchies and pet'n loves they will reconsider and give her more time to adjust.
Otherwise, I'd go get her and you find her a home. It will take some time, but it can be done.
I know this shelter doesn't put them to sleep, but you won't know who Macy will end up with next. She could run away from wherever they take her and end up at a shelter who doesn't have the same rules.
Wishing you and Macy, lots of luck.
I like T&P's Mom's suggestion of may you becoming the foster home. This way it is only temporary (from Eric's perspective) and it will give you more time to work with her. Maybe you would even be able to keep in contact with the people who eventually adopt her (like Jen does for all her fosters)...
I hope you manage to find a solution. It IS very reassuring that they are NO-KILL - so at least they should have the resources to at least give her a while to calm down.
I have had a similar experience with Tilly - my stray who had 2 kittens a few weeks ago. For the first week in the shelter she literally climbed the walls to get away from the caregivers when they went into her area. NOW she loves scritchies etc, and will even allow us to handle her baby, and they are extremely hopeful that she will be homed.
Keeping you in my prayers.
This is so hard and so sad for you. I'm sorry. I don't have much to offer that hasn't already been said but I see so many cats just like her coming into the shelter. They are terrified and in time will usually settle down. I feel so sorry for them during that time. It is heartbreaking.
If I were you I would just keep checking on her and make sure you know how she is doing. Keep us posted.
Good Luck.

You will be able to find her a home yourself if you think more positively. Everyone has to start somewhere. I never thought I could do it either, but you have to muster up the strength and just do it.
The whole process will be much easier on Macy if you could foster her. Then you could use the recue group's extensive application and the burden would basically be on them to find the new home. You'd just have to extend some effort too .. and also keep Macy happy in the meantime.
