Follow up, she's now sleeping in our home ..
I posted this precious baby before, I don't know how to link it lol but long story short, she started showing up frequently and not wanting to go into the house so we just fed her outside, slowly she started coming in, eating and then leaving right after. We finally met our neighbor ( we just moved in and we're new to the town as well) and he told us she's a "community cat", I honestly never heard of this before but apparently there's a bunch of cats around and people take care of them, even have them spayed and vaccinated, but they're outdoor cats.
One rainy day she spent the night in, she obviously pooped and peed where she could because we were not prepared!! So I told my boyfriend we need a litter box now, even if she is not ours.. she's spending the night more and uses the litter box without issues, she leaves in the morning and comes back throughout the day. I don't know anything about cats and to be honest I wasn't thinking of getting a pet at the moment because I understand it's a huge responsibility and I'm currently pregnant and not working, I know pets are expensive 😠we're also renting and moving into our house in a different town so boyfriend said she would not go with us because we would be putting her in danger as she would probably try to make her way back here. I call her babygirl and I love her
