Please don't even think about adopting her out, at least for a long time. Can
you imagine all the things that are going thru her mind???? Try putting
feliway spray on your hand when you want to pet her. Honestly, it helped so
much with the Royal Princess Kitty Katt and with several ferals.

and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

She's MUCH better as of last night. Ate a whole bowl of food, and let me
come very close to touching her, then put her paw out to stop me (no claws this
time, though.).
I'm not sure of the next step. I can put her on anti anxiety meds, but if
she's ok with me I won't know if they are working. I don't think I can take a
chance on adopting her out at this point.

This is very true. Dixie Louise, who is a very laid back cat, snarled at a
friend who had on a strange fragrance.

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).

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

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.
