I can't really do anything until her spay and we know what her disposition is. I know she's been living in/under our building for YEARS. Our maintainance guys say she's had many litters of kittens.

So, I have no idea how old she is, if she's feral or if she's going to give me rabies when I try to feed her. That's the problem. I have no contact with her in that way and there is no one else willing to help.

Every rescue organization I've found only does the catch-fix-release. No one has room for a cat that isn't your standard adoptable pets. (At least in the few that I've spoken with) I've had many organizations in the area only have a message machine at their phone numbers saying they have NO room and to only leave a message if you are able to help THEM.

Our Humane Society isn't set up for ferals. I tried that.

I need to take this one day at a time. She's been living safely outdoors for what seems to be her whole life, how ever long that is. She's going to have to be OK until she's able to be inside, be it my house or someone elses.

You all know how I feel about having an outdoor cat. It makes me sad that she's been used to that life. I've been trying to figure out a solution since the day I found her, this will have to due for now.

I'm paying for her spay and any shots they can give her. Its discounted, but I'm still the one paying for her. At least that's something in her favor.

She'll be in a kennel/crate type cage for two weeks out on our balcony. (CALIFORNIA....) Its warm and shady and she'll be MUCH more comfy there than being outside (or stuck inside for that matter). Its the best I can do for her right now. I just hope she'll be OK with that for now.

Anyway....done with that tangent....

She'll be getting a collar while she's asleep. I don't want to be the one to attempt THAT one! I plan to spend lots of time outside with her. Talking and reading to her.
