Nervous 3-month-old kitten - how long will it take for her to settle?

Hi everyone,

I've adopted a three-month-old female kitten; she's a stray.

I'm really worried because she's hiding all the time, and none of the cats I've had before were like this.

I've put her in a quiet room so she's not disturbed, but she just hides away and we never see her.

To be honest, I'm not the most patient person, plus I also have a one-year-old cat at home that I haven't introduced her to yet.

Does anyone have any idea how long I'll have to wait until she becomes 'normal'?

Thanks for your help.

    The trouble with cats from the streets is that they’ve had very little contact with people. It might take a while, so try to spend plenty of time in the room—watch a film on your phone, read a book, or even have a nap... basically anything quiet so the kitten can see you and get used to your presence. Just be patient—what else can you really do? ^^
