Also might consider leaving a radio on (low volume please) or a tape
recording of your voice.

Have you tried playing with her? I always collect goose feathers

feral cats. At first, they hiss and swat at the feather (depending
on their
socialization and tolerance), and eventually, they enjoy it...I
stroke them
along the side of the face at first, then top of the head and back
toward
the tail. I have a very good short article on phases of touching,
when you
eventually get to that point.

Thanks, Gloria.
I guess "regular" vets don't clip the ear because people would freak
out
about how their cat looks. Forgotten Felines, our local TNR
organization
(filled with Angels, by the way) did clip her ear.
She's now on my porch (we're having a cool summer, oddly enough) and
seems
okay. I am beginning to really like her. Tonight I sat out in the
beautiful, nearly full moon evening, drinking a beer and singing to
her (I
make up a song for all my cats -- this one was about how Hemy had a
hard
life but came through alright anyway and now things are better).
I'll feel
better is she won't "shun" me -- right now she turns her back on me or
hisses, letting me know just how mad she is about this whole thing.
Poor
darling! Tonight I tried to buy her love with canned food. We'll
see how
that goes!

If you put the kitty in a cage or secure porch or outbuilding for a
couple
of weeks, she will learn where she gets her food, where home is, and
hopefully stay around. Course this depends on your having the right
weather, or a porch with the right temperature and protection, etc.
You might also be able to find someone who takes outdoor cats, who
will do
the same thing, to keep kitty put up for a while so that she learns
where
home is. I gather they didn't "eartip" to show that kitty was altered,
unfortunately.
Good luck with your kitty -
Gloria
