At approximately 10 weeks old, she is at an ideal age to be socialized. This takes considerable patience. You have recieved excellent advice from others. I don't have much to add, except my own experience with two feral kittens. When I brought them indoors, I kept them in a large dog crate for...

Thank you orange&white, I really needed to hear that. Thank you so much again.

Wow, that is amazing. But you worked so hard with them, no wonder they turned out so well and were adopted. I totally understand the patience required for feral cats. With mine, many days it was one step forward, three steps back, but with a lot of love and perseverence, they become loving...
