We just adopted Sadie on 1/13/13, 6 week old kitten who was found with her mom outside, feral, which was found the first week of January. She is very scared. I read articles on what to do, put in her a room with food, litter toys and a blanket with our scent on it. It took her a couple of days to even get out of the bed but she has been playing with me the past few days, still skittish though. She doesn't seem to want to venture away in the house, just stays in her room. She knows how to use the litter box and eats fine. I know it's only been a week and not to get my hopes up, but my boyfriend seems to have little patience for her and it upsets me. I sense he wants a kitten that will play and run around and I have never owned a feral kitten before. I would never give her away though, she is my baby. Any advice on the kitten and also on what can help my boyfriend through this? She has warmed up to me a lot because I play with her when I get home and sit with her until my boyfriend gets home from work at 11:30pm. She is a crazy kitten with me, jumping and pouncing, but all in the comfort of her safe zone, which is a barrier of blankets so she feels secure. She has met a few people and has let them pet her but when she can, she jumps and runs into her bed.
