More than likely it is feral. Not a big deal as it can be tamed fairly easy. It will not last long at a shelter though.
I dropped off a feral kitten at a local shelter once. Changed my mind a couple hours later and went back to reclaim it. To late as they had already put it to sleep. So much for compassion and a 2 week stay to live. Ticked me off, F'im, cold day in h**l before I take another one there.
We adopted a Maine coon cat that was mostly wild. He had crawled up onto an engine block to get warm and got his tail caught in the serpentine belt and it had to be amputated. It took a couple of months to tame him, though he is still skittish and will not let you pick him up but he's grown to be a very sweet and affectionate cat.
We live near a wooded area, someone had evidently dropped off a kitten and he lived for about 3 months on his own. We would see him in the woods and try to get him to come to us. Eventually we couldn't find him until about 4 months ago he started to come to our drive way and moan and meow. He was skin and bones. I would put out food, but he would run away. Finally my other cat would meow to him and push food towards him and the little cat would come and eat. He is the sweetest cat and he has gained so much weight! :) We named him MoMo because he purrs so loudly and has such a loud meow. He was wild but such a sweet cat now, the children love him.
