Aw, Trudy is so pretty and she knew a good thing when she had it! Is it possible she is not a feral but a cast off? And she lived with the colony because she had no choice? That once upon a time, she KNEW what a home is and that it is good?

No matter. She knows it now, and she picked hers!

I don't do your type of work for a reason - I would bring them all home with me! But reading this, my heart went out to her on the Wednesday evening adventure, and I would have taken her in then!

I am SO glad you took her in. She clearly is ready to make the transition. Good luck with her, as her future just took a great turn for the better!
