First...thanks for giving the kitten a home!

Although not everyone will agree, most ferals can be come great catfriends given time and love. Kittens are MUCH easier to tame though you may find she/he remains more easily startled and wary than a kitten that has been handraised.

The large dog kennel in a secluded room as a start is a good idea. (Clumping litter is not for babies.) The concern there is that her food may be too close to her litter... but that depends on the size of the kennel. Sit near her in the kennel and talk gently to her. Let her out some but be careful she can't escape and become traumatized by being chased.

Slow and easy does it. Some of my best friends have begun as ferals....

I look forward to hearing about her progress....
