I have taken in a few strays over the years. Taming a feral kitten can be hit or miss.
Yes...we have one of the “miss” ones...he requires 2 drugs...after 5 years he still hates me, but will allow my hub to occasionally pick him up.
We took in a feral kitten that was trapped outside my office. Very young, scared, and a fighting spitfire. She’s 99% domesticated now. Don’t know how a Russian Blue would come to be feral, but she sure looks like one.
“Taming a feral kitten can be hit or miss.”
In 2011 we took in three ferals who were three months old (per the vet). We’d never done it before. We contacted a group, “Feral Friends”, and they said, “You’ll never tame them; they’re too old.” Well, they’re way more loving and clingy than the others.
A year later we brought in their mother (we had done TNR on her after bringing in the kittens). She loves being petted, and she snuggles up to you — but don’t even think about picking her up. When we moved to a new house in 2016 it was quite the circus trying to get her into a carrier.
