I tried to send this but it was sent back because I was not a member... Just thought it might be an idea if she has someone who can temporarily foster this kitty....
Read this on a cross-post to FELV group. Just an idea for you. I had a very similar thing happen to me with my local shelter. The kitten I found reacted in much the same way & they asked if perhaps I could put him back where I found him since I was feeding another stray there as they thought he was too 'feral'! What I worked out with them was that I would foster him for a couple of weeks. Well, I have one cat already who was not too thrilled but I found that somehow they all took to the pain in the neck kitten who followed them around continuously! Occasionally, there were some swats but no more than his own mother would have given him to teach him how to behave. Anyway, after a couple of weeks he was really pretty well socialized-was still afraid if you came upon him suddenly but then, I'd be afraid if something as big as a person suddenly loomed over me. I made a deal with the shelter that I would bring him there every AM & pick him up in the PM so that he could be shown for adoption-It took 3 days & someone came in and fell in love with him & took him home...So much for the 'feral' kitten label they had hung on him!!!
