Good luck!

Nope, if she belongs to someone else, they can't have her back. Anybody who is too irresponsible to spay or neuter a pet doesn't deserve to own a pet.
I always wondered about that with another of our cats, Buddy. He was so sweet and sociable, I knew he had to be part of someone's family at some poi nt - cats that don't get socialized as kittens are never friendly, they're scared of people. This boy practically jumped into my arms, and actually did jump into my car when I opened it for him. We "found" him at the convenience store up the road from our house, where the employees were feeding him hot dogs. One of our beloved kitties had just died a few weeks before, so we had a spot to fill, so to speak. I put up posters, but obviously nobody called.
But we live in the country, sort of. People tend to drop off unwanted pets in places like this. This cat came to our house on Sunday evening and almost literally did not leave our front porch the entire time. I think it's a safe bet that she doesn't belong elsewhere.
