to bring
in and will also make the chances of true socialization much more
likely...and also decrease the chances that the kitten is FELV+
since it
will have less time outside to become infected (unless born with it or
already exposed, tough to guess the chances). The Feral Cats group
has many
files on socializing.
Good luck!

I am sitting here typing with my previously feral cat lying next to
me, her
head on my leg looking up at me. I had no choice but to trap her
when in NC
for my grandmother's funeral because she was my grandma's cat and
my uncle
was going to trap her anyway and release her at some farm...grrrr...
Anyway, couldn't find a home for her while I was there, so she made
the trip
back to Texas with me and did beautifully. The day after we arrived
back
home, I opened her cage at my house in a very small room and she
let me
touch her after she'd explored the room. That was two years ago,
and she
doesn't even want to leave the house now to go outside, uses the
litter box
religiously, and in my opinion, is a very happy, mostly
domesticated kitty.
I am no expert, but if you truly want to adopt/domesticate her, it
might be
better to trap her and do the things Chris was talking about. Good
luck
with the kitten.

Hi Folks:
You all were such a big help to me last summer when we rescued a
little cat
who was diagnosed with feline leukemia. Sadly, we lost little
Smokey but?my
husband?is now in the process of trying to tame and catch?a wild
little
kitten that is on?his job. He's?eating the?food he gives him?but he
will not
let him touch him. Any suggestions? Also, what is the chance that an
abandoned kitten has feline leukemia? Does it help to catch the
decease
early?
Thank you for your help,
Kathryn

Some PetsMart stores have an attached vet clinic called Banfield.
