I can't blame you for not wanting to add another cat to the family - but it would be so hard for me to know that a sweetie was outside in the yard.
There are only kill shelters in this fairly rural area, where almost no one spays or neuters. Sissycat is right now underneath my picnic table, on an outdoor rug, both of which are under a 10 x 10 canopy. She's got a covered kennel, food and water, and apparently prefers to sleep on top of the picnic table.

She seems to be quite content, and loves getting scritches and attention when we go outside, so I think she'll be ok - she won't venture around to the front of the house where the street is unless she's hungry, and she hasn't left my yard since we brought her home from the vet's office.

Oh, believe me, I would LOVE to bring her inside. It's hard for me to "have" a cat that isn't indoor only, and perhaps one day she'll join the clowder, but for now I have to do what is best for the majority.

She's really such a love, it's very tough to leave her out there. But for now, it's what is best.
