It's possible that trauma has caused this kitten to turn feral or "wild". If you truly want to rehabilitate and socialize him, you will need to do what I did with Izzie, who was born under my neighbor's deck. I purchased a large dog cage and outfitted it with a litter box, a "hide box", food and water. I put it in my den, a room that was used only by me. I was able to trap Izzie using a humane trap and canned cat food. I brought him immediately to a vet for exam and innoculations. I kept him in the cage for about a month. I worked on my computer in there and was present in his world but not "in his face". It was 3 weeks before I let him out into the room, door closed, and 6 weeks before he was given the run of my house. I was patient, soft-spoken and let him decide what the schedule for socialization would be. I did not handle him excessively. I also spoke with an expert at rehabbing feral cats at our local humane shelter for their advice. Izzie is an inside cat who never goes out.
