Healthy Feral Calico Showed up and decided to live here?

Hi! First post but didnt know where else to really turn. so i have a half outdoor, half indoor cat (i live in the country and out here there are a LOT of barn cats its relatively safe for them to be outside) and he is great! i meow for him, and if he's up to it he comes home. i more of just do it to let him kno wwhile he's out there that "hey, im home; if you want food come!"

well, the other night i meowed after getting off work and went to game. like an hoour into gaming; i heard a "MEOW" that sounded half human half cat. i thought i was trippin; so i went outside and meowed once likei normally do then once how i heard "MaowWW" and then...i saw a random calico pop its head out of the grass? it ran up to me; it looked T ERRIFIED; and was very skittish but it was half "do i?" half "no it will hurt me!" going back and forth fgrom the grass then closer to me, i grabbed food and sh ook the dish offering it and it walked up and kept walking to the grass then up to me; eventually eatin out of the bowl of food when i was holding it; i sat the bowl down and shut the door and thought of what to do.

well, i got it its own bowl of food and when opening the door for that it just decided to let itself in; it hung out for a bit inside grabbed food and water and left; then came back later and was at the door againg wanting in; so i let it in and try to pet it; and it after like 2 hours of cautiously leaving and coming back and half scared half not; it let me pet her..

its been about a week now; every day i get off work and she's outside my door wairing for me. she stays and doesnt want to leave; ive used my shampoo on her and i need to take her to a vet still but i think my tomcat already hto her pregnant; other than that she seems healthy by all metrics. she's caught 3x the amount of mice the cat that i got to..c.atch mice catches; but kinda looing for a little advice?

nobody in the area reckognizes her or is missing a cat; she looks ot be about a month or two months old and gijven the amount of strays that live in the woods (they are sparsley seen; though we know they are there. one showed up in my garage 2 years ago, had a litter- then dipped forever to never be seen again) so im assuming this kitten is just one of the strays' kittens that grew up and said "screw outdoors!" or what; but she was SKINNY whens he came in; rough fur and like i said she was...she looke dTERRIFIED. whatever or whoever she was running from; she was scared. she acts skittish occassionally; but ive found her waking up curled up right against me the nights shes been inside when ive fallen asleep...

1- how do i go about chgecking if shes chipped isnce nobody reckgonizes her?

2- would it be better to rehome the kitten; given i have a tom- or spade her? She seems to like it here a lot; i wouldnt mind a second cat; im just worried about dealing with kitten litters every year...id have to find new homes every year if i didnt spay her either...

3- now that i know shes out there; any recommendatins on making a little habitat in trhe forest for her? given its where she came from; there's probably other cats out there and my cat goes outside too...i'd hate for there to be starving cats in the wilderness and i just cant find them im worried if she has sibligns?

 

To know if the cat is microchipped take her to a vet or shelter/animal control and they can scan her. I recommend spaying her if you are willing to keep her, or spaying her and finding her a home. To make the area nice for cats you can buy or make little houses out of wood or plastic which some cats may like, and regularly put out food and water. If you like plants adding catnip is a great idea. I hope this helps!
