So I discovered that I had a feral kitten in my back yard. It is too close to Halloween (its a black kitten) and its getting cold out so I set out to trap the kitten. It would meow with me but if I got close it took off. Also my neighbor owns pits who would kill it. (Nothing against pitts its the way his dogs are)
So I captured the kitten in a live trap and brought it in and placed it in a pet kennel and placed a small litter box in it with food and water. However I have other pets and they have been walking by the kennel and sniffing. I have only had this kitten for two days now.
Also I have young children here ( i am a foster mom)
So kitty eats and even poops and pees in the litter box and will meow with me in the kennel. I have not tried to pet the kitty due to it hissing.
So my question is how soon should I try to touch the kitten and how soon should I let it out of the kennel and into a room? We are not sure if we are keeping the kitten because I have 3 pets now but I want to make sure it is calm before taking it to a shelter or is this a bad idea?
Its a very cute kitten I love long hair kittens!!!
So suggestions anyone?
