Answer 1

Since your kitten isn't house broken and is probably highly stressed, here's the best thing to do. Confine him to one room, with a litterbox, water, food, and something comfy to sleep on. If you want him to bond with you, you might consider giving him something that smells like you to sleep on (like a pillowcase or teeshirt). Spend time in there with him. Don't force your attention on him, just be there. As he gets used to you, he'll become much calmer. If you can, keep him isolated until he is using his box reliably and he doesn't get stressed out by having you around.

Once your new kitten is calm and litterbox trained, you can introduce him to your other cat. Once they're used to each other, they'll probably be very good friends. Since they're relatively close in age they'll have similar energy levels and be quite happy to play with each other. But supervise them at first and put the little one back in his room after five minutes or so the first time. If they get along, you can lengthen the time gradually until they don't hiss and otherwise alarm each other.

You can try offering him food in the palm of your hand....he will associate your scent with something good to eat. If it seems like he's really struggling with dry food, wet it down with warm water and an egg, let it soak for a few minutes before giving it to him. Goat milk (you can buy it canned) is rich enough for kittens but if it seems like he really still needs milk, contact a vet and ask about kitten formula. In a way, it might be especially good if he does need formula because you'll need to hold him and handle him every couple hours to feed him and he'll become comfortable with you pretty quickly.

Good luck with your kitten! With a little time and affection, I'm sure he'll make a great pet.

Answer 2

I have trapped and successfully, "Socialized" many kittens. (They are considered adoptable at shelters if the are social). Keep it in a small area, like your bathroom for awhile, or even a cage inside a small room. Talk to it as much as possible, spend as much time as you can comforting it. If it doesn't hiss and scratch and bite, hold it close to your chest so that your heartbeat will also comfort her. Stroke her gently from her head back. I have had some that were so wild I could only pet the through cage wires with a feather duster for the first week or so I had them. A small space with a little box handy will also get the housebroken thing under control quickly. Keep in mind if the kitten is "going" ust everywhere it might be ill...
Good luck with the little guy.

Kittens not used to humans are ferral.I would use heavy gloves to handle them. They need alot of interaction to come around and begin to trust you.Use gloves as they will scratch and bite!!After they begin to be calm you can take off gloves.The meows will also stop.Let the 2 kittys be together it will help them calm down.Handle the kittys several times a day the more people doing the better. It will take awhile for kittys to get calm be aware they will resist you at first hold onto it as best you can and talk calmly to him.Try to keep them in the same room for a week or so they will also try to escape it.BIG JOB you've got.

Answer 4

Just let the cat be. Give it food and water and let it get used to the surroundings. Sometimes an old ticking clock wrapped in a blanket will help calm a kitten. Usually the meowing stops in a few hours as long as you are not chasing the cat or trying to pet it.

Answer 5

it might want its mother.... or milk or cream. Hard to tell. Just how old is this little fella? should it still be with it's mother? have you tried petting it and helping it adjust?

My advice at this point is to give the Cat attention. give it something to eat and drink. rub it for a little bit. Make sure a litter box is available. Do all the little things.

Answer 6

You should leave it in a room, maybe one with lots of hiding places, and that room will sort of become its safety room. every once in awhile go into the room and talk to it in a soft voice. sort of try to bond with it, play with it , put food out and stay a little ways away and watch. After awhile it should get more familiar with you. It should be OK, these types of things take some time.

Answer 7

Just give the little fellow some time. Leave food and water (and a litter box) where he can get to it and just leave him alone. It might take a few days so don't push it. Let him come to you. Sooner or later his natural curiosity will take over and if he feels comfortable, he will come to trust you.

Answer 8

Comfort it,,pet it,,tell him he'll be ok,,give it a little bed and music or a ticking clock.Its probably hungry.Dont give a cat cows milk.Try feeding it baby rice cereal mixed with water if it is a baby.
