Aw. That picture is just amazingly adorable. Cats sure are funny critters sometimes! "My" kittyboy- Rat- who bonded with me pretty intensely when DH & I got him as a teeny fluffball- went through a period where he just gave me the hugest cold shoulder and every snuggle he used to have for me, he lavished on DH. This lasted for about a year (and I was really pretty upset by it I have to admit). Rat was reaaallllly pissed at me for adopting O.P., who stole laptime away from Rat. (Although O.P. and Rat love each other to bits- Rat was still jealous of me and wanted to make me PAY.) Eventually when he either decided he had punished me enough, or that he'd realized I would still snuggle him too, not just O.P., he stopped ignoring me. Now he's back to snuggling with me about 80% of the time, and DH about 20%, which is status quo. (Rat is a kneader/drooler- he wants to get up under your chin and purr and nibble and slobber all over your shirt while kneading madly into your hair- he can make you feel pretty, er, used- leap on your lap, molest your neck, and then leap right off when he's done. DH is thrilled I have returned to being the cat-slobber favorite. He was pretty patient with Rat's need to drool, but really- it is a bit icky.)
It really can take cats years to adjust to changes. I betcha she'll warm up to you in time- she's probably still just barely getting over the trauma of the last few months. I think she'll eventually warm up to you, if you keep trying to win her over. If not- well, it does happen sometimes that a cat just decides one human is theirs and that's that. At least you have some other kitties that you can snuggle if that is the case!
Anyway, yeah- I'd definitely keep her. How awesome of you to take her in at all; she really needed a safe haven it sounds like.
HVVS- I had never had two cats that were all into each other's space until we got Rat & O.P. It was Twoo Cat Wuv at first sight with them- seriously, I swear they're gay. Always piled in a heap and licking each other. It is startling since Rat is indifferent to is sister, and tends to hate other cats pretty heartily- but the instant he saw O.P., he was all over him with the licking and sleeping together. I guess cats are like humans- there's other cats that they just fall for. It's super cute to see how attached the two of them are. If one is, say, locked in a room the other will fetch you to rescue.
