      Keep working on it until you can coax her into either stepping inside or into an easily enclosable space, then to vet for a chip scan.

      Best case scenario is that she belongs to someone who misses their baby girl.

      Second best case is no chip or previous owner super-sucks and therefore - you get a new buddy.

      We invited an abandoned gray girl in for wet food one day and she never left. Starting on her first night, she’d wake me up in the wee hours giving me tiny kisses on my eyelids, cheeks, forehead, or tip of my nose. We still have her 12 years later and she is the sweetest cat ever. Don’t fuck with her though - she will cut you 🤣

        I don’t know if she’s owned. She never leaves my porch and the bushes next to it. She’s dirty and has fleas. You can’t see it well in these pictures

          Then it clearly isn’t somebody else’s cat and it is good on you to take care of her. Seriously, people here all butthurt because I’m pointing out that it is not a good idea to feed other people’s pets. And even insulting me, such entitled pricks.

          When the cat is not malnurished and in good health then don’t feed it. You don’t know of allergies or other causes for special food. It is natural for cats to eat mice and birds, but eating other things like tuna can do damage.
