Kittens born to feral mothers have an open neurological socialization window between 4 and 10 weeks of age. Early intervention during this timeframe enables full transition into affectionate indoor family companions.
The Socialization Protocol
Keep kittens in a quiet, confined space with a crate. Pair every human touch with high-value wet food or Gerber baby food (meat-only, no onion/garlic). Never force handling; let curiosity drive proximity.
