After a couple of weeks of checking the Humane Society's webpage for the photo and description of Sophie, I finally called them up, hoping they'd tell me they were still putting weight on her.
No suck luck. Turns out she had feline leukemia and was slowly dying, so they put her down. I was partially horrified, and partially accepting. I dealt with feline leukemia enough in Thailand and know how incredibly infectious it is to outside cats. They told me she would have died a slow and painful death if I hadn't found her (and then given her to them to kill! *sniff*). Small comfort, but I think it was the right thing.

You absolutely did the right thing.
You did do the right thing of course. But, OH, that makes me so sad for that sweet little thing.
awww, that is sad, but at least she isn't suffering.
That is very sad, but I agree that you did what you needed to do. At least she was being taken care of at the end, rather than freezing outside.
Poor thing :( But at least she was out of the snow and being fed.....
