Morality of adopting a starving kitten and then releasing it after 5 weeks
I adopted a starving kitten (~ 1 month old) from a park where I go for walk. I fed and took care of her but after 5 weeks when she became healthy and active I noticed she was very lonely because there was no one to play with and I was always busy with my work (also I felt it wrong to curtail the freedom of a living being). So, I decided that I would release her in the same park and will give her food and water 2 times a day. First day she was happy and was playing with little kids in the park. But on the second day she disappeared, I don't know if she was adopted again, became prey or simply left the park. I tried to spot her for the next 2 days but couldn't find her.
Am I wrong here? because I feel guilty if something bad happened to her.
