I am all for Sterilize, Tip, And Return (STAR) for adults, but think kittens should live in a fenced yard and learn to trust humans after they have surgery, exams, and vaccinations. Not only are they as easy as a squirrel to get killed on the road because of their size, but they are easier to tame than adults because they had less time on Earth to learn how mean people are. (Sorry, I can't remember where I read that. But I know a kitten's purrsonality is formed during the first two months.) So I decided if I am ever going to work with ferals, my job will be keeping kittens off the street by giving them a fenced yard and large enclosure while socializing them.
Is this plan realistic? Would it work? If it is a good idea, what features should the yard and enclosure have? I welcome all input about this.
