My thought is that Boots is confused and afraid. Her scent was no longer at your new house after she was taken away for so long.

The lady that is feeding her and not liking her being there is a problem for all animals involved. I would get her out of that situation if the lady does not take ownership of her and care for her. She is still your cat, right?

She was probably acting like she didn't know you because of the time gone by and her fear. She may not have been at your new home long enough to adjust there. Different time is needed for each cat.

I would get her home and keep her closed in a room to herself so she can readjust. It can be done with time, love and patience. She can stay in her room until her scent is established in there and the other cats can smell her presence.

After some time follow the introduction suggestions listed here http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22301

If she is your cat, can you get her home and try to let her adjust to your new home? Where she is now does not seem like a good situation.

Wishing you and Boots the best.
