Ideally I'd also love to get her to a vet and have her spayed, if she hasn't already been. There are no notches on her ears.

Considering that just a few weeks ago she was FLEEING at the very sight of me it might take a while, if it ever happens. But that would bring me immense joy and make me feel like I've earned my spot on the planet.

Meanwhile, I'll just keep persisting.
