Further complications:
So the cat adopted Vicki and wasn't letting go. Vicki calls her "Mosey" because she just moseyed up to the house and moved in.
We made an appointment with our vet for the usual "found cat" tune up plus having her spayed. Took her in this morning, and asked to have her checked for a chip before doing anything else.
She is chipped.
So she does or has belonged to someone and somebody took good care of her at some point in her life.
She has been on the road for a long time. The day she showed up she weighed 4.7 pounds. She was up to 5.1 this morning. The vet said that, based on the size of her head and her skeleton she should weigh between 10 and 14 pounds. She said she will be a beautiful kitty when her body fills in and her fur gets healthy. Based on her weight, she showed up at our door just in time.
We are waiting to hear back from the vet regarding the attempt to find the owners. Vicki is beside herself. These two fell in love and she can't stand the idea of letting Mosey go.
But it's a no-lose situation for the cat, and I feel great about that. She will either go back to a loving home or come to a new loving home. Win-win for her!
