A preferable alternative to euthanasia would be to spay/neuter the cat and release it back outside. This is called TNR (trap/neuter/return). With lots of patience and love, some ferals do warm to humans eventually. Others will never trust a human and should be let go (AFTER being fixed) to live their 9 lives independently, or possibly joining a colony of other ferals. I am of the opinion that euthanasia should be reserved for only those ferals that are too ill to subsist on their own in the wild. Jacqui, if you have the time and devotion to work with your kitten, I hope it will come around . . . mine (Muskrat) finally did, and it was well worth the effort!
