Thanks for the replies and encouragement, it's so nice to have your support. At first, it feels a little strange to admit that I feed cats; my friends jokingly say that I'm becoming "The cat man"! I guess the stereotype is of the old cat lady who is sort of out of touch with reality and gets swarmed by an army of felines when she goes to feed them. Then I remember that everyone here LOVES cats and nothing is strange when it comes to doing good for our kitties
In other news, I've fed Raku (I've name the new stray cat Raku because he/she has markings similar to a raccoon) three days in a row. Last night, I got to the place, and again there were no cats in sight. I shook the bag, put the food down, and then out of the corner of my eye I saw Raku running towards me (she was about 50 feet away). At that point I opened up the can of food and started scooping it out on some paper plates I "borrowed" from work (hey, they never use them!). Raku was really hungry, and I could see that she wanted to run up and gobble the food but didn't want to get too close to me. She would walk towards me, back off, walk to the left and right, sit down, walk towards me again but didn't approach until I sat down. I was only 5 feet away!
Oh yeah, for those in the Bay Area, I've contact Furry Friends Rescue in Fremont, so I'll see if I can work with them. If not, I'll try some of the places y'all mentioned.
