stray cat updated

How long are you going to be able to keep her? Just for a couple of days or might it be a little bit longer?

An update.

No one has reported this cat missing anywhere in the area... So she went to my vet for a Feluk test. She tested negative and so I don't have to be quite so careful about contact with my guys. She does have fleas though so she is still in the garage until that treatment is finished. This weekend I will do a complete clipping of her mats (right now I just did the ones that were pulling.) and after she fattens up a bit I see about finding her a home of her own.

I spoke to the director of the school I work for, and although it is against policy to make a contract before Sept. (most schools do contracts in spring so waiting would put me in jepardy of not being able to find a job if the contract didn't come up to enough) he promised me enough that I might be able to work out a way to keep the animals and me in our home.

It still isn't secure but it is more hope than I've had in awhile....

Since I had committed to a vet visit for the stray before this conversation even though it would have been much more sensible to take her to the shelter...I am taking this as a sign that things are improving. And I have a feeling that once the fleas are gone unless she and the others can't get along, Miss Mae (she came on May Day) may just join the colony....

I am so, so pleased that you are taking care of her. I was almost afraid to open this thread and see that she had gone to the shelter. I know what it's like, I think quite a few on PT do, to face financial uncertainty and yet yearn to help the needy cats that cross our path. Thank you for going out of your way, really out of your way, to help Miss Mae. I hope you can keep both your house and all your cats - how many, by the way?
