PLEASE ANSWER IMMEDIATELY! I'M LEAVING IN A FEW HOURS!

While on a vacation in Greece, I met two orphaned kittens. who must have been no older than two months. One of them accidentally got run over by a car, and while I found this event tragic, thankfully, the one I had gotten connected to and named Odysseia in the first place survived. She is an innocent, friendly and playful, and seems to have good survival skills, but life in the hotel yard seems to be full of dangers: Cars pass by every now and then, and while a warm character, the owner doesn't seem to care much for her. My idea, was, therefore, to look for a safe spot on the nearby fields and feed her there, thereby turning her into a feral cat. That said, I am not fully aware of the consequences of such an action. What should I do to keep Odysseia as healthy and safe as possible?

With deep gratitude,
Tomer Ravid

The best course would be to get her spayed. With it you immediately would better on ther life quality.  Now it is too late, I fear.

The only left is you try to find someone who is willing to adopt her. Or at least, to keep an eye on her and have her as his or hers, outside cat.

Probably easiest to find a woman with soft heart.

I gather Odysseia is more socialized and tame than most homeless?

Try this, and pray.

You dont have any time for anything else.

ps.  Dont try and pay as the first thing you do. The risk too great they will accept the payment, and throw her out the first they do after you are away.

IF you pay, do it firstly afterwards, to somebody you are sure is giving her a home.

Good luck!

Still there?   Teh easiest and perhaps best is perhaps, if you find a peasant or similiar, who is willing to have her as his barn cat.

So it will both safety from cars and possibility to manage on catches, and some food and protection from the owner.

Good luck!
