The user has three male orange cats that live both indoors and outdoors. They recently found a small orange kitten during a hurricane and caught it to bring it inside for safety. After the storm passed, they released the kitten, but it became frightened and started following the larger cats for comfort. The user managed to get the kitten back into a crate to schedule a spay/neuter procedure. They would like to keep the kitten as an indoor-outdoor cat once it is older. The user is seeking advice on how to gain the kitten’s trust, especially since it had attempted to bite them. They have experience raising goats, dogs, and cats but have never dealt with a feral kitten before. They are currently providing food and water for the kitten and trying to protect it from the elements. How can they build trust with the kitten?
