Keep in mind that apparently she's not feral, just terrified. Give
her time, and try tasty stuff (like the fried chicken - great idea).
Talk to her soothingly.

Oh, she also hasn't eaten since she got here. I have tried her
regular food (they brought the remains of a bag over), pill pockets
(with no pills in them - my cats love them), freeze dried shrimp,
yucky Pounce treats, and canned food. Next I am going to try
tuna. There's no way I can syringe her, and I can't get her to a
vet without trapping her, which usually involves food. So I just
have to hope that she eats, I guess. Judging from my cats, maybe I
should try white bread - they think that is the best thing going!

Not only can I not touch her ears, I can't get closer than about a
foot and a half without being in danger of losing a finger.

If you are able to touch her ears, I would ask the vet to prescribe
benadryl to be compounded at a compounding pharmacy into
transdermal cream to rub inside her ear. My Patches has been on
this for years for anxiety. She was prescribed it because she was
pulling her fur out of her belly and back legs, and the benadryl
stopped that. But she also used to go after the other cats, and the
benadryl pretty much stopped that too. If I forget to give it to
her, it is noticeable because she goes after Lucy and sometimes
even me. With the benadryl she is pretty much fine. It does not
seem to make her groggy at all-- she is quite perky and energetic--
but just takes the edge off I guess.
