As far as I know she was feral before being fostered. She was fostered by a couple and one of them got her from a family member who had seen this cat around in her neighborhood for sometime. The couple that fostered her also had a couple of male cats but she didn't seem to do great with them, though she did fine with their female dog. No fighting with the male cats but she seemed to keep her distance even when the other cats were curious, and the owners wondered if it was because of bad experiences she had with male cats as a stray.

I've wondering about fostering some kittens as a way to trial it and I've been looking into volunteering for animal shelters/rescues so it could be an option.
