Abstract
Fosters are often called on to help increase affiliative behaviors, and decrease distance-increasing behaviors in older kittens that are showing signs of being undersocialized. This article explains what this process looks like for kittens who are outside what is usually considered the window for socialization. It covers environmental management and preparation, positive reinforcement using food, desensitization to touch, and the importance of giving kittens choice and time to process.
