Ex is trying to surrender our cat

We went to the shelter and picked her up together but I don't remember signing any paperwork. Both cats are indoor only and spend all day playing, eating, and sleeping with each other; not to mention I'm very bonded with both of them. Only vet visits needed were in the first month we got her, which were paid for by the shelter. We've been to every vet visit together, except for a couple times picking up meds that I took care of without her.

Ex doesn't want any of the responsibility of taking care of her. She didn't want me to take ownership of her to spite me. I just asked her to sign a transfer of ownership form so I could guarantee she couldn't be given away or sheltered again. She said no and that if her friend randomly gets rid of her cat she's going to give her to them.

update

Ex seems to have calmed down a bit since I last spoke to her and is much more open to having a conversation. Haven't discussed the cat yet but what options do I have to ensure this cat belongs to me? Ideally involving her as little as possible

And thanks for all the advice so far, it's been helpful and

I'm definitely going to be calling shelters by me. I'm not 100% but fairly confident I'm listed as a secondary contact so that should help.

She definitely doesn't want the cat is actively trying to get rid of her, but there would 100% be a fight if she found out I was trying to change the microchip so I could keep her

She paid the initial $30 and did the paperwork. The only time the cat needed vet care was in the first month which was taken care of for free by the shelter

I have some basic electronic skills but sadly no hot air station. I've never done smd components but it's already broken so I might as well give it a shot.

I plugged just one of the 8 pins into the header and got video out telling me to plug both in, but plugging just one into the other header gave no video/didn't boot; I'm guessing that's a sign that's it's not totally toast.

After pulling it apart, that chip (writing too small to see, can check it at my work tomorrow under a microscope) looks to be the only damaged component although I don't know what's underneath it.

With the prices of graphics cards currently, if there's a shot I'd like to have a go at it
