Hello. Unfortunately, there are no safe and effective medications that you can put in food to tranquilizer a cat. Any safe products must be obtained from a veterinarian as they are prescription. Even these are not reliable because they take hours to take effect and the cat has usually wandered off by then. Your safest option is to purchase a humane trap and try to bait her with some good smelling food. These traps can be purchased as stores like tractor supply. Your local animal control may also loan them out so it’s worth checking with them . Good luck.
