So relieved to have found this site.
Found a tiny wee black kitten in garden on Sunday day after fireworks in village. I've had brillant help from our local cat rescue and have managed to trap it. Its currently in the garage in a puppy pen with all comforts.

I feel I have upset it more as have handled it for 1st time today and had to use deflea spray. Naturally its even more frightened of me - hisses and spits like mad. I know I need to bring it in to the house but didnt want to bring in fleas too!

My question is, should I leave it to settle for a couple of days by not attempting to offer it food by hand, just to go in several times a day put in food , talk to it , clean it out etc?

Any advice appreciated.
