i always admired you guys for all the work you do, but i definitely got some new appreciation...

she is always at the same place in the park and does come out for temptation treats... i hope they can get her...
They can bend in some amazing positions for sure. I have some interesting scars on my arms and hands to say the least. I think there are a few on my legs and back too. Normally, and I say normally because each kitty is different, once you scruff them they go fairly limp. But I have also had some who just plain freak out. Please don't feel bad. You have done more than most would.

It may work. The towel usually works to calm them. But it would have to be done quickly. If this girl flips out when scruffed she just may be a difficult customer.

I have emailed my contact. Hopefully she will get back to me tomorrow and can help out. As soon as I know anything I will let you know. I've told her I will take the wild child once caught so we shall see. Biggest problem is I don't know if there is anyone in that area working to s/n.
