Hi folks,
Im new to the forum, i was searching the internet about cat behaviour. I work at a bowling alley as a mechanic, and we found a little black female cat about a month ago, came right up to us, meowing and skin and bones. We started feeding her and she has been with us every day since. But she is a very timid cat, she runs from things, but most of the time she will eat, then walk over to me and head butt my hand so i pet her. We recently trimmed her claws, I don't think anyone ever has, because one of the guys got scratched by her when he was petting her (No ill effects from the scratch thankfully). I need to get her to a vet, But im afraid of transporting her there, because As i said she is a timid cat, and may try to scratch and bite. Most of the time she is pretty mellow, but she doesn't seem to like catnip, or any of the toys i have bought for her. So basically im asking for advice, How much generally does it cost to bring a cat to a vet to get vaccinations and checked out and whatnot, cause we don't wanna get bit or scratched badly by her and end up getting some disease or infection. She is getting to trust us, and eventually i want to bring her home. So any advice/suggestions are welcome. I don't know exactly if she is Feral, she acts as tho she is but i really don't know
