If she has been spayed, she of course was loved at one time by someone. Sadly someone abused her or dropped her off. Happens all the time where we live. We have rescued over 10 cats in the last year and none were true ferals. Miss Mama is a good example of your girl and it has taken us over 9...

Hello Gail. In our experience with stray/ferals, we have found that it is a good idea to set up 2 bowls 'near' one another, that way when Tom 1 is eating, and Tom 2 comes up, there is no fight as there is another bowl for the second one to arrive. We used to set them about 3 feet apart. As for...
