You have to stand back from things like this so you can make out the wood from the trees. Quite clearly you have etsablished your own pet scenario with RTT and imminently arriving Corgi (if you decided on the name, I missed it).

Tell 'A' that she has until 'x' date to retrieve her cat ( latest date for 'x' being arrival day of Corgi - sooner if you feel necessary) after which date you will regretfully have to place her cat in hands of ASPCA passing them her details as rightful owner.

Make it clear that you helped as much as you said you would and really only did so because of 'B's' allergy and to give 'A' time to make other arrangements. The time left that you have the cat should still be time enough for her to make arrangements, which ultimatelyy would have had to include ASPCA as an option - so you are only doing what she would have had to do if she fails to take the cat back.

If all the above still seems unsettling for you evn though it is common-sense, then you could try an ad (freebie or very low cost like shop window jobbie) to find the cat a new home, but make sure that 'A's' phone number is the one that people call (unless you want to control the exercise).

At the end of the day, if 'A' gripes then I think it is good to turn the picture round and ask her if she would do the same for you - if she has the audacity to say 'yes' then give her the cat back there and then as you will only be responding to her answer, if she says 'no' then still give her the cat back as she has admitted that it's unfair to land you with such a responsibility....
