So for almost a year now I have been feeding a stray cat that turned up at my remote outdoor work place. After seeing her for a few weeks I began feeding her and posted her on some local lost and found sites. Didn’t hear anything so tried getting a rescue space but to no avail. No rescue will help, they all pass on the details of other rescues. She was on a waiting list with cats protection for 4 months but then they rang and said she would be too feral from living outside and they don’t deal with that.
I am at a loss as to what to do. Lockdown meant my work shut down but I still drive there 5 times a week to feed her. She isn’t friendly as in I can’t touch her or get too close but she will run over and meow when she sees me. If I get too near her she will hiss or run off. I have been thinking about getting an outdoor enclosure in my garden for her with the idea that when she’s used to it I could leave the door open so she can still roam about but come back for shelter etc. Is this a good idea? Rescues have all advised she wouldn’t be able to live indoors, plus I have 5 dogs and a house bunny. The place she is living now really isn’t great so I need to do something.
