A small underfed tortoiseshell kitten attached herself to us almost ten years ago when we were in Spain. Like you we could not leave her there. It was much more difficult to bring a pet back to the UK then with a longer quarantine after the rabies vaccination, and a need to get the pet wormed and treated for ticks between 24 and 48 hours before travel.Kitty had to stay in Spain three months after her rabies vaccination until we got a positive test result.
However, as has been emphasised it is now so easy. Kitty travels all over Europe with us now - back to Spain and UK. Loves it! You just need to keep up the rabies booster and no need to worm and treat cats for ticks before travel; although dogs need to be treated for tapeworm still.
I would highly recommend bringing this kitten back - we have had years of pleasure from our little stray and she adores the greenery of the UK.

Good luck and do let us know how you get on...
