Thanks so much to both of you who responded. We really do love this cat and want things to work out. We have an appointment at the vet one week from today. We have the carrier out and opened in the living room. We've put her catnip toy inside it and we fed her in there tonight and plan to continue that routine. Unfortunately we both left the living room and we're not sure if she ate the food or if it was our other, older cat. The good thing is that the kitten goes into the carrier freely which seems to reasure Elsa. I'm confident that she won't starve, so if we continue to feed her in the carrier she will eventually go inside. I'm going to make sure the vet can keep her until everything is complete, spaying, shots, blood work, etc. If he can't keep her, I found a cat only vet that I'm going to call. I'm going to try hard not to have to go through this twice!! Thanks again. I love this website!
