I recently adopted a 6 week old kitten that was born outside and has lived outside its whole life. It only wants to eat it's food outside and seems to like it outside better. But I feel so guilty leaving it on my screened in porch because it's so young and I don't want anything bad to happen. A lot of stray animals live in the area. Plus I feel like the kitten may think I'm pushing it away when all I want is for it to be comfortable. Help please. 😧

Thank you everyone for all of your help. I've decided to keep Winston indoors and allow it to go outside as much as it wants (supervised of course.) I will look into getting a leash and a big kitty condo. I am in the process of putting Winston on the same feeding schedule as the family dog and adding in more play time to keep it happy. I think I will always worry about Winston especially when I return to work. But I will feel better when (s)he is acclimated. Thanks again everyone.
