Your kitten might just be putting on a big show because he is on his own and frightened.

Our little feral babies were nine weeks too, when Jessica brought them to us. They all acted like that, the smallest ones hissed the loudest, but in some cases they calmed down really quickly. The kitten that my mum took was hissing and spitting at me from his cage as I got ready to take him to the vet for his injections, but by the time he had been handled at the vets and had his injections, he was absolutely fine. When we went to collect him, he walked out the cage purring. It was incredible.

Unfortunately some of them did take a bit longer than that, and it was a case of keeping playing with them with their toys, trying to touch them as much as possible and being patient.

I hope your little wild baby surprises you.
