All kittens aren't the same of course, but Charlie came to me as an 8-week-old feral, and I think he can be considered domesticated. It will take a lot of work, time, patience, and love.

I found one like that before, a little older.

I called her Tiger Lilly.

If you feed her:





She'll be your best friend:



Her Mom came by a couple of times to visit her, then disappeared.

Good luck with yours.

Eight weeks is considered to be the tipping point for ferals to transition to human care and interaction, so I am sure that you can work with this little kitten and domesticate him. Jamie at 8 weeks, having been rescued at about 5 weeks or so.
