In the short term, one could always use a cardboard box to take her to and from the vet, just put holes in the top, no bigger than a paw, for breathing.
I'd screen lock the computer when you're not using it, because there's very few ways to catproof a keyboard (although I recall a program a few years ago that would interpret cat pawprints and ignore them).
I'm sure we've got a spare carrier for short-term use, but we've got six animals in this house, it's always handy to keep a few on hand. *smirk*
I think Walmart has cat carriers for only $10.
I hope you find her owners, or I hope she finds a good home if not with you. We've got the two kitties that weren't happy at getting locked out of the bedroom, but they've gotten used to it now, and we don't get woken up by yeowling kitty wanting to get in anymore... Although it wasn't the most amusing thing for a while... Had to put vinyl on the floor in front of the bedroom door so she wouldn't pick at the carpet in an attempt to get us to let her in.
Have you contemplated becoming a short term foster daddy, if the SPCA can't find her a home quickly?
Haven't had much luck with cardboard boxes in the past (though the cardboard cat-carriers that stay closed a lot better do seem to work most of the time). Will try a cardboard box anyhow, if I don't get to Wal Mart or borrow a carrier from someone nearby first.
Kitty seems to learn very quickly from pain -- caught on real quic that just behind my right heel is not the place to stand when I'm washing dishes. Still working on how to teach stuff on purpose though.
More later. Trying to convince myself I have enough energy to go to HCB rehearsal. We're playing at Potomac this weekend, so rehearsal's kind of important.

Have to ask the hubby, but perhaps we could bring a carrier with us? We're not sure which day(s) we're going to be there, tho.
