Well Pouncer Roccalno Took Being Spayed And Needled Very Badly, And Not Only Did She Break Out Of Her Cage, But Out Of The Lucky Found Paradise Cat Hotel Completely.
And The Fact That Her Daughter Pouncer Karina Has Vanished To A Furr Ever Home Has Not Excatly Warmed Her Heart.
Shes A Feral Cat Again, But Hopefully If Shes Cold And Hungry Enough , She Will Sneak Back Into The Cellar Where She Will Find Food Water And A Bed.
I Pray One Day She Will Be A Lucky Found Cat.

I bet most of the rescue folks here have had this experience.

The only silly advice I might have is to cover the crate/cage when you take her and don't let her see where she is going and coming back home. I would keep her confined to the smallest space possible once you get her home again. They can, if they want, do her surgery early in the day and let her come home that night. She would probably have to stay in the crate overnight. The only other thing I would do is to try to schedule it for when you have the most time (not working for days) if possible. She will need your love and assurance that she will be fine.

They may want you to drug her before she comes in......to relax her a little.

Good luck. She may just surprise you and pull through this with no problems at all.

Keep us posted.
