The story of Fat Face explains what we do very well. The first photo is of him feral with a gaping wound on his cheek, in danger of dying from something called fly strike. The family who had been feeding him sought the rescue's help. To rescue him a volunteer had to lay a trap and wait in the bushes for hours, this cat wasn't easy to catch.
In the second photo this is him sitting in his new home after a lot of care from the vet and us. He was feral so he will never be a fussy lap cat. His family adopted him not knowing if he would even stay in the house. He was done well, he knows he has a home, he knows there is food there and that he is loved, they are his family. He will always stay a little away, he is a social distancing cat. We don't home feral cats, but he and his adoptive family were exceptions.
