I'm sure she just needs a different home. If I couldn't let this tabby
outside, he (and I) would go nuts. He mainly hangs out on the patio on a
chairs, and tries to tear up the outdoor carpet under the table and chairs,
but he hasn't made a mark in it yet.

I understand you can't let them outside where you live, because I can't let
my baby go out to the country anymore because she is terrified of wolves,
fox, and hawks.

Yes, it is rare to find one you can bond with. Just remember to spend a lot
of time the first couple of days, showing them where to scratch. I use
catnip to attract them to where I want them to go.
