Do not post an address, but could you please let us know the general
geographic area? It's possible that someone may be in that area and know of
some resources that can provide help for your friend and the cat.

Thanks so much, Annie (and everyone else who posted reassurances).
This person is in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

One other question: Is it normal to be bothered by thinking of a cat
becoming "depressed" if she can no longer go outdoors? I volunteer at
a nursing home, and frankly, most of the (mentally competent) women
there don't seem to mind too much. But then again, these women never
had fun rolling in the grass and pretending they were queens of the
jungle in their glory days.
