I recently did a TNR on a cat. We thought she was a kitten but turned out to be two years old. We kept her inside long because it was winter and she needed her fur back before she could be released. I fell in love with her and so did my cat we already had. We kept her inside a cage which she began to not like. She wanted out and escaped one day and hid. She hid alongside the stove and then made her way into the closet. I have a 13 yr old who was very scared.
So, the decision to release her was decided. We felt it was time she was ready to move on. We released her and she was gone for over a week. Then one day she reappeared. I started feeding her in her old place. Then suddenly she started following me every where and rubbing up against my legs. Then , I tried to pet her and she loved it. Everyday, she waits outside my apartment building for food and love.
I decided to try bringing her inside again and don't know what to do. I would need to get her to the vet. Which will only bring us backwards because we are gaining her trust. So I'm wondering if I could get a vet to visit home. I'm also wondering what to do as far as keeping her caged at first. Because a rescue group said I would need to keep her caged until she gets comfortable again.
I tried trapping her and finally caught her inside a carrier but she got loose because the front door was not secure. she was inside the carrier and yowling and moving frantically. I was worried for her and forgot to bring something to cover the carrier because I wasn't sure if it would even work.
Any suggestions is appreciated. I have a small one bedroom apartment and I don't have a special room. I can keep her. I just want to save her and protect her from the other ferals outside and give her a chance at a good home if she will let me. I have no experience but she really needs us. My neighbors complain there scared of her and I'm worried all the time for her :/
Also my cat went down by the front door of our building a few times and hissed when she got close to the door. So I'm afraid they have to learn to like each other all over again. I'm so stressed and don't know what to do?
