@Cat McCannon unless you think the added trauma of tearing down the cabinet walls around her and pulling her out of there is worth getting her into a different area to adjust in (I do not say this sarcastically, I genuinely don’t know). I cannot physically remove her without having maintenance...

@Cat McCannon how do you suggest I do this? The home is full of other options for her at varying elevations, locations, levels of seclusion, etc and has been since she came home. I have fostered adult cats before and understand the need for these as well as the need for safe spaces and...

Last question for anyone still paying attention to the thread: is it problematic that she will only come out at night and is definitely still scared of me/other noises? Is the problem only going to get worse if she continues to use the hole as her home base and only comes out at night when I’m...

The cat attract litter worked! Thank you everyone on this thread for your ideas and guidance, now that she’s eating normally every night, using the litter box, and wandering around to explore (she made it all the way to the living room last night) I’m planning to let her keep using the hidey...

Sticking the bowls to the floor got her to come all the way out last night! She ate wet food and chicken and explored the area for a few minutes including standing up to inspect some shelves.

Tried putting some tuna and rotisserie chicken further away from the hole last night, my security camera caught her reaching out with her paw and pulling them closer so she didn't have to get out. Tonight I'll try sticking the bowls to the ground so she can't pull them closer. I will also try...

@ArtNJ thank you for the input, I'll stop sticking my phone up there but agreed that bathroom activity in the space would be a massive pain to deal with. I've already identified panels to pull off to try to open the space if it comes to that, I don't mind if she stays in there for a long time as...

@rubysmama I found her in a void space between kitchen cabinets that I didn't know was accessible, which initially terrified me as the opening she squeezed through is far too small for me to be able to get her out. I can only get a hand in the opening with my phone to take a video of the area...

Hello everyone! Approximately 48 hours ago (Saturday afternoon), I brought home a 4 year old(ish) female cat from my local SPCA. The shelter knew very little about her history, she was brought in on March 31st by a woman who found her in her neighborhood after the cat (Biscuit) approached her...
