So, some of you may have read that I lost my dear dog, but a kitten showed up in my backyard paralleling his loss. I have been persistently attempting to lure this kitty to my breast with gourmet kitten food, but no such luck. He is true ferrel kitty, and will only let me watch him eat, but not touch.

I want what's best for this kitty. He is small, probably around 6-10 weeks old, stripped. I'm trying to get him to trust me, as I need to get him to a veterinarian for tests, shots, spay/neutering, but I can't even reach out to touch him. I would like to do this with as little traumatic an experience as I can ensure for Kitten.

Any tips or tricks? I also worry about him when it rains. There are covered areas, but no where where it is completely dry. I know he's been fending for himself all this time, but I still worry.
