I just wanted to thank everyone for all the encouragement, kind words and of course advice. We are borrowing a trap from a friend, plan on trapping her and just getting her back in the house. Unfortuantely we do not have an extra room to keep her in. We have one bedroom an open floor area with the kitchen and livingroom and the down stairs is all opened. I plan on making her a small comfortable area under our stair area where she can hide better in and maybe won't want to go back into the wall. Thank you again, this list and the people on it are great and it's nice to be able to turn to in need.
Thank you
Jeni

Just s further word of encouragement: our (Wini)Fred, to whom I refer as
our former quasi-feral, took months to tame down. She had been abandoned at
a few months of age in a trailer park, and foraged all summer until a
tender-hearted coworker of mine worried about her in the approaching cold
weather, and trapped her. I was brand new at feral -- or "hard stray" as
they say on the ferals list -- handling and did a lot of things wrong. But
we finally got her in a small room by herself, where, as it happened, the
doorknob was missing and there was a wide crack at the bottom of the door,
so that she and the other cats could hear each other and even interact under
the door. At first she kept crawling up into the framework of the decrepit
50s overstuffed chair we had in there, but we sat down in the room and read
to her every night (100 Greatest Science Fiction Stories) or watched DVDs
and talked. Eventually she would walk over us as we sat on the floor, or
come up on the chair arm for treats or pets. It's been a few years and we
still can't pick her up properly (though last night I quickly picked her up
and set her down and she didn't freak) but she's very loving and leans
against your neck with her solid little body from the back of the sofa, or
sometimes if you're laying down she'll flop on your face. So once the two
of you get past this hard bit and she's out of the wall, be patient and
persevere, bribe her with food and do the slow blink thing. It's very
gratifying when they bond with you, and you've saved another starfish. ;-)

>>bless you for giving this little one a home, even if she's not quite
ready to accept it!
