How do I take care of a stray cat that might remain outside?

We had a stray cat come to our porch 4 years ago. he was aggressive with hissing and growling and well it took him 4 years to really get used to us. We would feed him daily, keeping the food not so close to the door, but able to pet him weeks/months later, he’s skittish around everything, sound people, attempting to pick them up. Try creating a shelter, small enough like an old dog house or perhaps go shopping for a medium sized outdoors one, keep it close to your house, I mean she is independent in the wild, so she knows how to care for herself already. If you want to get her fixed right away, try to not force but get her trapped somehow or get animal rescue team near and call and tell them you have a stray cat that should be fixed, but you still want her in the area. Or like I said try getting her yourself, and getting her fixed, it’ll be best to not have feral/stray cats lurking around as much. If you need more info, you can contact me c;

I remember a couple years back I heard meowing in the forest behind my house, I looked till I found this cat. Soo since my mom was worried it had rabis or some other disease We put a huge box outside for shelter amd gave it food, and it stayed in there for a few nights. Then we put it in our garage, then let it in our house one day (which you shouldnt in case of diseases) So my mom asked around at work if anyone wanted a cat, one of her co-workers did. So her co-worker took it to the doctors and they had to put the cat down, it was in horrible shape

feed it

Put food and water out… Maybe a blanket in the shed or something… We have 2 stray cats so I have what is listed above…
