    Can you not put the cat in the carrier and have her in a different room with the door shut, the kitchen for example?

    I would not leave a cat in a carrier with dogs (which aren't used to cats) in the house, if they did manage to get in the room, the cat would have no where to go, it wouldn't be able to hide.

    Ok - let me clarify something. We are not asking for advice how to manage cat and dogs alone in the flat as we KNOW this will nt be possible. They can not be left alone.

    Cat is terrified of dogs, separate room or not and this is not going to work.

    Need a foster or permanent home for the kitty - from tonight.With no dogs.

    Or no idea what we will do :(

    You can't leave a cat in a small carrier all day

    Much as I hate to suggest it, she may have to go back to the bus shelter if nothing else can be found for her, and collected again on Friday. It's got to be safer than being left in a flat with 4 dogs.

    Is the bus shelter easy walking distance from where you are, would it be possible if you collected it each night and brought it back so at least it had somewhere to stay in at nights.

    If you do take it back then at least you are giving the 'owners' another chance, if they have noticed its missing and it returns surely that would be the push they need for them to take it inside.

    I am a bit concerned how the cat will be if returned, it might try to find its way back to you.
