Kelley,
Do you wear any scents....or are you a smoker? It may take her a while to
get used to your smell....or lack of if her owner used perfume or smoked.

No, I don't think she is feral at all. Her ex-guardian had her since 8
weeks of age, per the medical records she gave me. (she's had WAY too many
shots, IMHO - the vet we have inside Petsmart here seems to be quite the ripoff
joint).
She doesn't seem to like my voice, she bares her teeth and hisses at me when
she hears it.
Seems pretty indifferent to other cats so far (I shoo them out when they go
in her room, but she pays no mind to them).

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!

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.
