I just know it will happen for her. I've had many cats in my day and many of them were not very friendly towards others. In a way, this was good.
In the case of Old Kitty, everyone always wanted to touch her and hold her as she was so very beautiful having one green eye and one blue eye and all white.
She'd run for the hills!
It was good as she taught my other cats to run for the hills when anyone tried to grab them. It was good because no one could bring harm to them. Old Kitty was a loving cat with my husband and me and the surviving cat is a rescue from a no-kill shelter.
She was a bit too friendly when I first got her but Old Kitty taught her to be cautious. She growls when the someone comes to the door but is otherwise a lovely cat and yes, she is my "baby". 
I recently adopted two male kittens from the same local no-kill shelter after the deaths of Old Kitty and Flame (he was from a no-kill shelter as well; a different one that I would hesitate to recommend to anyone). They are well socialized and very friendly but they are learning to be cautious from the other cat that learned to be this way from the late Old Kitty. So, you see, Old Kitty lives on in her own special way. I think Lana is like Old Kitty was in this sense -- scared as hell but looking for love.
So, it can be a good thing I think. Some people out there have less that good intentions with cats sadly. I learned this lesson the hard way so I'm glad to have cautious cats (smart cats is what they are!).
I hope they all find loving homes for soon and I'll put in a special little prayer for Lana to find the right person/place. 
Best of luck to you my friend and don't you dare cry too much! You are doing the right thing, remember that!
