at the cat rescue i volunteered at, the kittens who were too feral/fearful to become pets were moved over into the 'working cat' program. they'd be put in the storage areas of the rescue and allowed to roam freely in those areas, but still be near humans and be fed/litterbox trained. then businessowners could adopt them to keep the rodent population under control in their businesses. a real win-win-win situation, considering those cats would likely be put down otherwise.
