I would advise a basic adoption agreement...

as Laurie mentioned

I was going to mention that about the microchip, especially if she WAS already chipped, to get your name put on immediately. But her not being chipped is probably even better, then you can start fresh by getting it done yourself.

As to "visitation", I would advise against it. When we adopted Sven, he was very depressed because after 9 years his Mom just tossed him aside, and our Vet said if he saw her again, he might get even more depressed when she left again. So...if she asks if she can visit, you can tell her the Vet advised against it, for Emmy's sake

(because I'm guessing you don't really want her to visit her, do you?)

) Sending you vibes

No, I don't really want her visiting. I think it would be too hard on Emmy. She is pregnant (not Emmy--her current owner)--so hopefully she will be too occupied after the baby comes to drive the 22 miles to see her.
It will be better for all is she just left us alone...for Emmy's sake.

I want to thank everyone for you support. All suggestions are helpful and appreciated. You all came up with ideas I wouldn't have thought of!! I didn't realize trying to adopt an 'unwanted' kitty would be to hard.
