Will my feral cat ever be close?

About a year and a half ago I started feeding and taking care of a cat that was left behind when a neighbor moved.It’s definitely an outside feral cat. I feed and water her, give her treats and even built a nice insulated cat box. I even put a heating pad in it so she wouldn’t get cold! Still she pretty much ignores me. Only on rare occasions will she let me pet her. Is it bc she’s feral, or are some cats just that way?

After 1.5 years it’s not going to happen. Why not get a cat for yourself and still feed the feral one?
I hope they wouldn’t fight. That would be a concern, for sure.@CereBellum
@LadyGrace They ABSOLUTELY would fight. Therefore the new cat is an indoor only cat.
Oh, I see. 😆Thought you meant keep them together. Not thinking yet this morning. 😂 Ferals have really sharp teeth, don’t they? @CereBellum
@LadyGrace Just as sharp as non feral ones; however they are obviously much nastier.
I wasn’t aware of that, thank you. I’ve never had a feral cat. @CereBellum
@LadyGrace People don’t own feral cats, as they are unsocialized and tends to be fearful of people.
Oh, wow. Thank you for such good information. @CereBellum
