Hi
To give you the background we have had our new cat Rolo for 10 days she is an unspayed 5 year old house cat that has had a little, but not much , human contact. She seems very frightened and hides most of the time in what we have made "her" room. She will sometimes respond to a stoke if she feels in the mood but won't come out with us around unless its dark. We are giving her alot of TLC but I feel its going to be a long process.
Obviously we need to get her spayed sometime(she won't get outside until then) but I am worried doing it at this early stage when she is frightened may make her worse.
Does anyone know if getting her done now may improve her mood?
Or should we let her settle fully first-I don't want her to feel worse poor thing.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
