What can we do about this adorable stray black cat? There is this cute cat our old neighbor used to feed, but?

she moved. Our cat, Chelsea is a little Princess, so we are not sure if she would accept the cat, should we attempt to domesticate her. How can we keep the cat from coming around. When Chelsea see her, she gets pretty upset. Upsetting our little baby is the last thing we want. Is it possible we can domesticate the cat, and join her with Chelsea? Or should we try something else? If so, how can we keep the cat away?
Thank you for your answers.
Believe me, I wish the cat would at least approach us. All she does is play a foot away… so cute, but when we move towards her she take off.

I think you should try and domesticate her, try and gain her trust, pull her in with some food, and try and stroke her, and if u do domesticate her, try and introduce her to your princess, but if they fight or princess is upset, then mayby you could get another family member to take her in
If you don’t want to take her in as your own, I would contact animal control or take the cat yourself to a shelter.
sadly, it is alwyas going to be feral and will not tollerate being locked up in a house.
You should first Take Chelsea outside, in your arms of coarse , and see her reaction when she is outdoors with the cat. If she spits and Hiss’s, I think they will be fine, but you need to do this a couple more times. This way the other cat will know what to expect when you do bring her in.
First and foremost, take the stray to a vet before you bring her one inch near your cat, and if she checks out clean then you will be smooth sailing, well, at least for awhile. All cats fight it doesn’t mean they don’t get along.
I took in a stray and this is what I did, and I also have a special Little "Mookie" that I didn’t want to upset. Now, when you bring this other cat in, "MAKE SURE" You pay extra attention to your cat because for awhile the jealousy will be unbearable only humans don’t know about it, I found out the hard way.
Good Luck
First about Chelsea. She is alpha, and will not like any changes. When she sees the other cat, she is defending her territory.
As far as the black cat, it is a matter of gaining trust. Often, that is done through food. And patience.
Most can be domesticated; it just takes some time. Calling animal control will eliminate the problem, but if the cat is older, she likely will not get a home. And if she is a bit wild, sometimes they have just hours to show they will settle down, as shelters are often overwhelmed.
If you do gain her trust, and want to adopt her, don’t let her inside before a vet visit. You want to make sure you have not introduced any illnesses into your house, and that includes a feline leukemia test. That also includes fleas, worms, and ear mites. And also spaying, if not done already. Vets often can tell once they shave the cat if the cat has been spayed.
It will take awhile to build trust. Then, the introduction becomes a whole different issue. Post again with those questions when and if you are ready. However, this forum does not seem to be a moderated forum so weigh responses carefully. Some are very good, and some are, well, less than helpful.
WHY DON’T U TAKE IT 2 A SHELTER THEY’LL KNOW WHAT 2 DO
You can try to domesticate her, and since she’s a stray it may be the best thing for her. Befriend her by feeding her and such, or if you want, use a Catch-Em-Live trap to catch her and put her in a cage or spare room with food, water, and a litter box. Catch-Em-Live traps are where the animal goes in, persay, to eat some food that’s inside (the bait). When they step on this one part of the cage floor, the door closes behind them. It’s completely harmless. If and when you catch her, take her to a vet to make sure she doesn’t have any disease that could pass to your cat Chelsea. Introduce them carefully at first and let them get used to each other. Who knows, they could end up as best of friends. Just try it and see how it works out. It’ll be hard work but worth it.
