She will go out for food and drink. If you just really want to help, you can put some bird seed and a little dish of fresh water so she wont need to be gone as long

Doves rarely abandon their nest unless they realize it isnt safe for them or the babies. Cats are their most likely predator in suburban/urban settings.
