HI everyone
24 hours ago I've rescued a stray female pregnant calico. Before rescuing her I've been feeding her for about two weeks there where she used to live in a parking lot downtown in a very busy street. I figured it out that during the day she will sleep in the back yard of an abandoned house next to the parking lot, that is why I had to feed her just around 7PM each day after sunset, when she will always show up to eat her meal. During the day she will hide inside that abandoned house.
THE PROBLEM IS that she is missing after I've brought her home. She is a very affectionate cat and it was easy for me to get her inside the kennel right there in the parking lot. Inside the kennel she was very very stressed at first. After the trip and once in my room she was very vocal and after releasing her from the kennel and always inside the room, she will calm down after an hour. Hours later by 3AM she escaped. It was my mistake to leave a window just half and inch open, so when I fell sleep she cleverly managed to jump open the window and get away.
I want to get her back as soon as possible and take care of her before the kittens come. I'm guessing she needs at least 1 week more before giving birth.
Because she is mostly a displaced cat will she run away very far? I've looked for her the whole day even blocks away. I'm guessing she is not afraid from cars. There are other stray cats right by my house, actually a whole cat family (male&female + 3 kittens) I do live right by the 1st floor of my apartment building and this cat family is living in the parking lot. People are feeding them. There is actually a stray female dog living inside the apartment building complex as well. There are four buildings in total and plenty of trees and bushes to hide.
When I rescued her I just couldn't leave behind another female cat, which was living with her in the same parking lot downtown. SO I BROUGHT HOME THE TWO CATS AT THE SAME TIME THE SAME DAY. They were very affectionate with each other once in my room after releasing them from their kennels.
I'm planning to take the stray companion cat I still have inside a kennel, go outside once it gets dark tonight, so either maybe the smell of the companion cat or having the companion cat vocalizing while inside the kennel will pick her attention up and bring her back to me, thought, I do not know if this will actually help and just stress the companion cat. I do have sardines as well and probably sitting outside in the middle of the night waiting for her to show up could help out.
PLEASE ADVISE!!!!
Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
