Need advice about finding a a stray kitten

I'am currently in the process of trying to get my outside stray cat back and in the interim every cat in my neighborhood has been coming over to my house to eat. I was on my way back to work 30minutes ago when  I saw the neighborhood cat (neutered male) and this 8 week old kitten eating out of T.K's dish(not together but he was very docile towards the kitten that seemed like it was afraid the big guy would become bossy)!! I tried to get closer to it, but it ran away(not too far from me but enough to keep its distance). I sat by the food for 7 mins calling out to the kitten  and it slowly started to come over to me while meowing at the same time. Sadly I had to get back to work so I couldn't wait to gain their trust even more. It also ran away when I tried to play with it via string to my neighbors back yard but they popped their head back out while I was putting out more food for them.  Is there a possibility it will stay near my house(since it discovered I have food) so I can try and capture it later? I don't think its mother is anywhere around and I never saw kittens in my neighborhood at all so I'm thinking its mom gave them the boot! Okay that's a lie about not seeing kittens in my community,but last time I saw some was 2 years ago and they were with their mother....but it was not in my housing division since the cats I see are fixed.
 

The mom may have died - 8 weeks is awfully young to be kicked out of the nest.  They will most likely stick around, especially if you put food out for them.  I would not leave the food overnight because that will attract raccoons and possums.

If you can, trap the kitten and have him or her fixed.  You should be able to socialize it at this age and perhaps find it a home.

Thank you for helping them!  I hope you find your own cat in this process.

thx for the advice! He did come back after all! I used the kitty bed for my outside cat and 2 hours later he was nestled inside.

I was going to wait till it fell asleep to catch it but then I heard coyotes(I don't know how far they were but they sounded close) so I kinda...rushed it and ended up getting two swollen fingers in the process...but it was worth it for the lil guy!

Good!  If you keep the little guy in his own room (a bathroom is fine), it will give him some time to settle down.  He will need a potty, a bed and an eating area.  A sweaty t-shirt is fine for the bed - it will get him used to your smell.

Visit a few times a day, with food or to clean the potty.  Talk to him in a high baby voice (cats hear that better).  Always move slowly and deliberately (no sudden moves if you can help it).  You can also sit in there and read out loud to him.  You might want to get a baby gate to block the door so he doesn't scoot out when you open the door.  You can use a large piece of cardboard to block him if a baby gate isn't available.

He should come around pretty quickly, especially after he recognizes you represent food!

Coyotes? Sounds like my area! Very frightening to have them anywhere near cats and especially kittens.
We've been doing TNR here for several years, and there aren't too many unneutered ones left ( unless someone drops them off). Sounds like you are doing the best you can and already getting good advice. It would be a help if you had more time, but I do understand. My best suggestion is to talk to him/ them in a soft gentle voice, and do it every single time you go out there, no matter the reason. Even if you don't see them I would guess that they are hidden close by somewhere. They rarely leave a regular food source given the choice. At least that's been my experience. If you have the time at any point, try sitting quietly nearby and talking softly to them. They generally do respond to that eventually. I've had to grab and run a few times ( for the same reason), but then I'll go ahead and keep/ tame the kitten. Your other option is a trap. That works well for kittens ( especially the young ones). The older ones learn to avoid them pretty quickly....but it depends somewhat on how hungry they are. Good luck with this, and I pray ( for their sake) that you are successful, especially with winter coming on!

@Odine: Thanks for the tips, they worked out very well! He's used to some of the human family members now and is constantly purring and making biscuits(he's tiny so I say biscuits instead of bread)! XD. My fiance slept with him last night and he kept making biscuits on his neck lol. I slowly introduced him to my dog too. He's acting tough around him and once he felt he could take down my dog he started moving around more in his current room as well as trying to boss my dog around(Dog has dealt with kittens before so she doesn't care but I know she wants to play with him if he initiates it). Now I'am trying to get my two resident cats used to the kitten. I think my boy cat will warm up faster to the kitten oppose to my girl who is not very happy so far. I tried the smell swapping technique with her and she gets very alert and hissy when I do that. Also when she goes near the kittens door, if my other cat comes around to also smell, she hisses at him. I  tried putting treats near he kittens smelly objects to associate good things with it but she doesn't care (girl cat only uses us for snacks). Any advice on how to get her to calm down a bit more? I was planning to buy feliaway but just my luck, my cats will be the one that it doesn't work for -_-.

@Conikat: Thanks! I yet to see any Coyotes venture into our community, but granted I don't know how many cats go into our sports wild park =).
I successfully got the lil one inside the house so I don't have to worry about the Coyotes getting this guy for a snack =). And in the future if this happens again, I will have a trap read...with some thick gloves just in case...

Hurray!  Thanks for the update.  It sounds like he is a very lucky kitty!
