[quote=Anonymous]Through a series of events, I found myself helping in a rescue of a cat who's hoarder owner had recently passed away.  It took forever for us to find her, and even longer to dig her hissing self out of the sofa she hid in.  The home was a mess- roaches and debris everywhere.  Apparently the owner had doted on his previous cats, but this last one kept itself hidden from the few people who visited and didn't come into contact with any visitors. Given the state of the house, we wondered if the owner had actually interacted with the cat, or did he just put down more food and water and occaisionally change the litter box.
So, clearly I'm a know-nothing volunteer trying to do best for a cat, but not knowing what the best might be.  She's at the vet for the weekend to get checked over, but after that we need to find a way for her to be safe. It's not even a question of finding a 'forever home': it's a question as to whether a snarling animal can be groomed to be a potential pet, or should we cut our losses and let her roam (spayed) and free?
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.[/quote]
