I don't know if any here follow the Walter Santi YouTube Cat channel or not from Turkey but they have a feral named Zoom that they had not been able to pet for 7 years. They named it Zoom because it would run so fast to get away from them. It has now been petted! To quote Jim Valvano " Don't Never Give Up" ! It took us 8 years to pet Our Feral Puff Ball who has turned into a couch potato so anything is possible!
