We've been bringing in little Ivy at night and keeping her separated now for close to 2 months and the stress level with the other cats is becoming more intense. I had to stop 3 of the 4 cats cornering and getting into a fight with the alpha cat. Mind you, the alpha cat has been instigating with 1 of the other cats prior to this. Ivy is quite tame and ready to be indoors but we're still waiting for a recheck for feline leukemia and will need to keep everyone separated for 5 more weeks. While she is in at night if she is not crated she's crying and swatting at the door and I know this is upsetting to not just us but to our other cats. I'm not sure we can ever introduce her to the other cats the way things are playing out as we haven't even tried to put them together. We've reached out to animal rescue organizations; 1 of them after telling us no one had room to foster her right now, suggested bringing her to Petsmart over the weekend for possible adoption but I'm not sure she's quite ready for that either. We feel like we're in over our heads here. We're trying to help this cat who had no one else to care for her and its starting to feel like its coming back to bite us.
