feral kitten
Stray young cat
A feral kitten is a young cat born to wild or untamed parents, having had little or no human contact.
Unlike stray kittens that may have been socialized, feral kittens are typically fearful and defensive around people.
With early intervention, feral kittens can often be tamed: We trapped the feral kittens at six weeks and fostered them until they were adoptable.
