*About 2 years ago a kitten was abandoned on our balcony, we began feeding her and caring for her, since then she continues to live around the house.
*At the age of 9 months she got spayed.
*She isn't used to humans picking her up or holding her.
However, I've been facing some problems:
*We live in a place that is near a wild open area, which means wild animals (stray dogs, jackals and snakes...) can and do roam freely there.
*I do not live alone and some people in the house do not want her inside (I do, but some don't).
*I can't giver her away because I care about her and because shes already 2 year old roaming freely outside - too feral (can't/hard to be kept indoors at someone else's and isn't used to humans picking her up or holding her)
*And I can't keep her outside wondering freely because of the dangers I mentioned (especially viper snakes whenever they show up she gets too close to them, at least from dogs and jackals she runs).
So I began to think of a solution: Building a safe outdoor enclosure/cage that is big enough for her to run around and jump.
We also began feeding another abandoned kitten about 4 months ago, so I thought I would put them together to enjoy eachother's company.
My questions are:
Will she be able to accept/adapt-to this change after 2 years of roaming freely?
And if you think she would be able to, how big should the enclosure/cage needs to be?
any help is appreciated.
