Thank you. I may attempt to get her back to the vet after I talk to her tomorrow. I’m now frustrated that I didn’t at least request blood work, it seems as though it was a waste of money, apart from getting the prescriptions. Which may still be a waste of money, if I can’t find a way to get her to take the liquid without forcing it in her mouth and her hating me. Sigh. This is extremely tough. I’m grateful for all of the advice and replies you guys have given meOur posts crossed. I know the up and down seems weird but there is an answer to why she does it. I’ve brought in over 100 wild cats in the past couple of years. One female had me so wary that at first I called ed her Viscious! It later turned out that she had very good reason to act like she did. We may not realize it but the cats learn to survive and have strong instincts that can cause them to retain things that caused a survival instinct to kick in. Even that move could have a lasting effect until she feels totally secure again. When I figured it out I was blown away that I had not known and assumed she would not be a cat I could rescue. When I began to understand, I altered how I worked with her and changed her name. Her name is now Flowers and she is completely different. She has never acted aggressive since I put the puzzle pieces together. She is no longer feral. She is living inside and one of my sweet babies, although a timid if others are here.
Check those links to financial services. Many help with people who are under a certain income. It’s not always credit services either. Some state, Humane societies and caring groups will help in order to give you a better chance to keep your kitty with you. Believe it or not, lots of good people are out there and care.
The fact that your kitty is showing affection to the other cat is a very good sign. She also, obviously, really loves you and is putting her trust in you to help her. She only had you to turn to but you have lots of people on your side in your efforts to save your precious girl and give her a happy life with you all. I applaud all you are doing for your kitties. I always say that a kitty guardian is a kitty hero. Just keep taking kitten steps, you’re doing great.
