My new feral kittens are scared. How do I get them to trust me?

Question

WE adopted 2 Feral $month old kitten sisters. They have been with us for 2 1/2 weeks.They wont let us touch them yet and i don't want to traumatize them by grabbing them. Do you have any advice on how to approach them? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 4 months and 17 days old | 2 lbs

You will have to take your time and be extremely patient with them. You could try to feed them close to you and then slowly move the feeding bowl closer to you after a few days so they get used to being around you and trusting you. You could also try some Feliway spray or diffuser and see if that helps, too. Hopefully with some time they will let you actually touch and pet them.
