Cats identify by scent not visual. The male went to the vet and picked up the scent of other animals and was wiped down with betadyne prior to surgery to sanitize the area and that mills his scent. So as far as she is concerned thats not him its some strange cat and she doesnt want any part of it. The same will happen when you take her in. Its normal and will stop when his scent returns or you take a hand towel and rub her down really well then rub him down with the same towel. .its called scent transfer.
