A little more info. She's in the trap, where the FF people said she should stay "until morning" which it is.
She had a problem with her tail, so part of that had to be amputated. They said it "went really well and she didn't bleed much" which is good. They advised the bandage would just come off in time. She's a big Himalyan girl with blue eyes. A very striking cat. Oh, and she has a cleft pallet which I've never seen in a kitty before. I want to do the best thing for her. Again, your help is appreciated. ~B.

Now I'm literally an hour away from needing to decide. The problem is that my aunt (who's tame housecat I took) also had a "feral" living in her large yard. The cat showed up about 2 years ago, and for the past year I believe the cat has pretty much been a resident there (her only source of food?). Yesterday I trapped her and took her to Forgotten Felines, the local and excellent TNR organization. Guess what? She had already been spayed. That means some (fill in the blank nasty term) 'person' had just abandoned her! So here's the dilemma: if I release her in my yard, she's in a strange place. The only thing holding her near will be my good heart. If I take her back to my aunt's house (which is to go on the market soon) god knows what will happen, where she will find food, and the next 'trapper' may not have as good a motivation as I do. I see it as 50/50 for this poor cat. But what would YOU do? Thanks for your thoughts. ~Bonnie
