in addition to what buginatub said, try to find the local no kill shelter in your area and see if they will accept her there. i know the ones in my area place them in foster homes until they find a permanent home. i had a bad experience with my local animal kill shelter. i found a stray and took there and they were going to put her down after only two weeks. it was cheaper than taking her to a vet to get her antibiotics and medicine to kill the parasites living in her that weren't letting her gain any weight. she's with me now.
