My new feral kitten won't leave the bedroom. How can I socialize her?

My new previously feral kitten is doing well. She only will stay in the bedroom, will not come out to play. What should I do? Pet's info: Cat | American Curl | Female | 3 lbs

If she is older than 16 weeks then she may never really be much more social. However, if she is younger than 16 weeks then it is still possible that she will become more social. Give her time, lots of treats, and allow her to slowly gain trust. You may want to get a tall cat tree in the family room and put her on top. She can be up and safe but still be “getting used” to another room. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
