Liz, I've adopted a couple of ferals in the past and those handled the indoors just fine but it took a while. There were pee issues, however.

Right now I'm trying to make sure that yet another holiday kitty is safe and well fed. I have a shelter w/a wind barrier set up and s/he goes in but won't eat the food I put out, even though it's smelly and I nuke it to entice him/her. Either s/he's eating elsewhere or s/he doesn't like what I'm serving. I hate the thought of him/her out there in this awful winter weather but s/he bolts like a bat outa hell when s/he sees or hears me. If s/he's not eating, it's doubtful I can entice him/her into a trap.

We just do the best we can and hope for the best. Thank you for caring enough to try.
