I am getting a new kitten- she is what I would consider feral. I hope some of you experts can help. I haven't caught her yet, but the barn owner is going to help me this weekend. I will bring her to my vet ASAP (I'll probably call them tomorrow to set up the appt. for Monday), but what shoud I do once I get her home?

Hanna was my last kitten and she was mostly tame and knew how to use a litterbox. This new girl is about 7 weeks or so (The barn owner wasn't sure when or where they were born - the mother brought them into the barn at the start of winter) so I'm guessing born end of Nov.

I have a room where I can isolate her from the rest, but I was thinking of setting her up in a large dog kennel (plastic, not metal wire) with food water and litterbox so she can get used to the idea of using a litterbox. Is this a good idea, or should I let her have run of the room? I worry because she is skittish and feral.

Is she young enough to come around and be a housekitty? I was feeding her treats today, but she wouldn't let me touch her.

Is clumping litter a no-no for little kittens?

I am so excited, she is a doll! I took one look at her and fell in love.
