I live in an apartment complex, and every so often (kitten season?) we found kitten outside on the street meowing (literally the streets surrounding the complex). Sometimes if they are lucky they get adopted into a forever home since they are still young.
A little background, there is a alpha and mrs alpha, two brothers, and about 4ish other male cats that roam around so around 8-10 cats. There are nice and kind people that feed them but no one would do TNR because its expensive something like $150 per cat.
Like the title ask, could it be possible to introduce a new kitten (at least 2-3 months old) to a feral colony? If possible, what can we do?
There is also the problem that there might be people who hate cats, and think there is already way too many cats. We are also afraid that with a big colony it would attract unwanted people and they would trap and eat them
So its a big dilemma.
Any input is welcome, there is of course the option to leave it on the street... but thats not the answer i am looking for and all shelter/rescue group is full/max out
