Keep it away from traffic, of the vehicular variety.
Other than that, feed it, water it.
It will love you eventually!

I have a large thick glove, which I always used when I needed to pick up my boy cat for any reason. He's much better now he's 12 years old now and much more laid back, he grabs me sometimes when I walk past him. I never put my hand or face directly towards his face, as he has been known to lash out, I always approach him from the back of his ears first, then he's usually ok. the only time he gets nasty now is when we have a male visitor and we are talking , he gets jealous of me talking to them.
Good luck with you feral moggy, the glove might be a good idea, for a while anyway, until she gets used to you.

Our Larry was most likely a feral cat. He's a very good boy, comes when he's called, stays in the same room with us when we watch TV, likes to be petted, but you can never pick him up. He is about 10 years old now and has reached his comfort level living with us but I doubt he will ever become the lap cat I would have preferred.

Well, if I could get Peanut off the computer keyboard long enough to type an answer....
FIRST, designate ONE person to be the contact person between humanity and the cat.
Next, spend time alone with the cat, just sitting in a small enclosed space so it has no choice but to be in close proximity with you. Eventually, the cat will make contact with you. You like to read; it won't be wasted time. Sit on the floor, though, so the cat is "on your level".
A cat's lack of reproductive system is not a dead giveaway for its age. Knowing when the cat was born is. Don't confuse the two.
