We trapped a kitten who is about 16-18 weeks old - it's a sibling of Jimmy, the kitten I socialised and adopted out recently. Difference is that I trapped him about 9 weeks ago now!
These kittens are used to people being around, and know that people feed them. I was going to just release this girl, but she got spayed today and I looked into her trap, and she was sitting there with her eyes half closed looking relatively relaxed. Most feral cats are wide eyed and freaked out looking.
So we're naming her Jemima, and we're going to have a go at socialising her. If nothing else, she'll get a warm place to sleep for a week or so...
