I fed a young cat and got attached after 4 months. She looked chubby, called a wonderful person to help trap her and we got extremely lucky n got her n all 5 babies (2 weeks). She's at the rescuers place and I go visit. They're all well. She's gotten used to the woman caring for her and when I was feeding her (every morn n every eve) we sat near each other but she'd bolt away about 15' if I tried to get too close so I just sat and enjoyed her. The kittens will get weened this week and after her milk dries up she will be spayed, shots (I believe) etc. BIG questions:
Am I going to have a potentially miserable cat that's better off wild? I'm doing all the reading I possibly can to learn the extra TLC she'll need so I don't think I'll personally make her unhappy. She has many predators here and summer is harsh as is winter.
I have a very large walk-in closet (12x12). I'm carpeting shelves for her n giving her some hiding spots and a disguised pet crate that I hope she uses as a den. However, I'm stumped a bit cuz of the tile ceiling...pics enclosed. No money to be fancy but I know I gotta secure it. Any thoughts? Any advice? I want her to have a better life. Returning her is possible but I would like to welcome her even if she isn't a cuddle bug. We had lots of sitting and eye blinking so she's stolen my heart. See pic
