Hello,
I am new to the forum and I am hoping someone can help. We captured a stray cat several months ago and she was staying in our back yard enclosure. She escaped after only a few hours and it took several months to catch her again. We live overseas and our backyard enclosure is quite large and is like an extension of our villa with windows, doors, and a chicken wire roof and chicken wire above the door. It has been secured even more in the past few weeks.
When we caught her the second time we took her to the veterinarian and they spayed her and tested her for all virals. She has been vaccinated and after one week she came home with us. Because we have four kitties and one foster, we felt it would be best if she was in the enclosure. She has tried to escape several times, but luckily we were secure. I feel guilty for not letting her go since I know she really wants to, but they are doing a cull here soon and she might be caught Plus, I feel committed to giving her the best chance at finding a home, even if it takes a long time. When/if she trusts us, we can move her inside. In your opinion, is this a lost cause unless I get her inside?
Thanks!
Tanya
