how do I catch it/gain it's trust fast? my dog will kill it if they catch it. I want to catch it to maybe keep, safely of course. You can tell it got lose from its owner as its very well kept.

offer her milk or food, then pet her

Remove the dogs if you can...

in house

@Couger - tried it, skiddish little thing it is.

 Did you try the ball of yarn?

hmm..... well I dont have yarn freely available but I do have an idea for a substitute.

Any other suggestions.

Maybe a box?

its very hand shy. I have an odd feeling it was beaten and abandoned around here. It knows where food and water is now so it should stay around. I;ll try again tomorrow morning if it is still around.

Got a gun?

giving the kitten a gun would likely only make the situation worse. Lets think of some other ideas.
