Rescued a feral kitten, probably about 8 weeks old

[nextdoorscatwantstomovein]

dd1 and her friend found an abandoned feral kitten about 5 days ago. With advice and help from local rescues we finally caught it tonight, it's currently in a (large) hamster cage in the kitchen which is covered with a towel with some food, water, blanket and a litter tray. Grew up with cats and have in the past tamed a feral cat but am wondering what our next move should be(obviously a vet visit is needed)

Sorry forgot rule about photos

Talk, sing, just generally be around
We had two feral kittens, one was easy, the ginger was a little bugger but she is now tame. I spent ages sat by the crate chatting away to her. Eventually she started following me around and now is happy to be stroked only 5 strokes, 6 gets you a paw swipe
Should be easier with a kitten than a fully grown cat
Vet of course
Decent food. Wet and dry works, some that are good are Simpson's, thrive, Lily's kitchen, natures menu
Zooplus does a lot of good food and cat litter, they deliver and you can usually get cash back or a discount code! Fetch is another one that I've used as I had a discount code and money back via Quidco
Patience, and more patience!

@nextdoorscatwantstomovein How are you and the kitten getting on?

Awww

It's fine, actually letting us touch it. It's very
hungry. Got a vet appt on wednes but we have.noticed that the inside of one ear looks wet so may ring in the morning and see if we can an appt tomorrow

What have you called it?

Ivy if it's a girl which we think it is, haven't got a male name yet if it turns out to be a boy

Kitten lady on YouTube has lots of advice for feral kittens

Good luck with the vet visit - and very cute kitten (always believed grey cats are best )

so cute, don't tell Sparklingbrook

Ah I'm pleased its going Ok😊

We rescued a litter of 4 feral kittens last Wednesday night, they’re around 9 weeks old.
It’s amazing how far they’ve come in 6 days! We’ve been doing all of the above, little and often and two are already very tame :)

Any chance of some pics @LuluBellaBlue? Sounds like you're doing a great job!

It's just allowed me to make a fuss of it-lots of purring and headbutting

What’s his name?

Toby or Ivy depending on sex
