    a kitten came to my back yard, meowing in the night. this morning my wife found it stays beside our pool pump, no any response. She then gives it some foods and it starts to eat, this kitten does not trust human and stays alert. What can I do? we build a small kitten bed. not sure if it will like it...

    diligent hands rule....

      Build it a small shelter and put blankets in there. Food and water as well. Keep talking to it and it will eventually realize it has a furever home.

            We had a young feral cat start coming around, we feed it and it eventually adopted us. Now it is very friendly to us and has taken over the house. She is still somewhat feral but allows us to remain in the house. :)

              A kitten came to our house on 14th July. Had not even properly opened its eyes. Fed it milk, drop by drop, using a syringe / ink-filler, and slowly it learnt to drink milk from a cup. Named it Koko and gradually introduced it to cat food, and nowadays it goes out and comes back. Now it is a four month old cat. Whenever we dont find it, we call Koko, and it mews from wherever it is.

                You can feed an adult cat. But a kitten means adoption.

                          My sister started feeding a stray cat and stopped when 50 cats showed up for supper every night. Not a joke.

                                I was once greeted by a kitten outside my door one cold winter day. Of course I brought him inside. He thanked me by soiling my carpet.

                                        Step 1; phone your local vets * and ask if anyone's lost a kitten. Step 2; put up a poster outside your house and ask if anyone's lost a kitten. Step 3; get on your local social media group and ask if anyone's lost a kitten. Chances are a near neighbour's family is in distress. (At least that's how it works in the UK. Maybe you're miles from your neighbour...) *vets = Veterinary surgery in UK. We always shorten it, I don't mean call your local ex-serviceman's club!

                                          Take it to a local animal shelter or your animal control department and have them scan it for a microchip. If it's got one, the owner's info should be on file. If it doesn't have one ... If a young kitten has a chip, the folks who chipped them really want the cat. You'll be making be making them very happy to get their kitty back.
