I've offered to help trap a couple kittens living under a deck in my neighborhood. I don't know how to age kittens, so I'm not sure how much intensive socializing they'd need. I suspect they're at least 12 weeks old and it'll be difficult.
All the shelters and rescues in my area are very very full, and the TNR groups are helpful but very opposed to trying to bring any feral cat over about 10 weeks in for socialization or adoption. I know it can be successful after that time, but it takes a lot of work, I can't just drop them off at a rescue. I don't think I could actually adopt them long term, and again all the shelters are really full. The people who on the deck they live under are kind and perhaps already partly attached to them, should I try to explain TNR caretaking and see if they would be willing to do it, or should I try to socialize them and get them adopted?
