Routine helps. If he knows what to expect, he'll settle down a bit more. Also, wand toys like da bird are wonderful. Playing will help him burn off some pent up energy but it will also be a way to earn his trust. Follow up with super tasty treats (cooked chicken, Temptations, bonito flakes). Two 15-minute play sessions a day are recommended.

If you do decide to try to hold him, wrap him in a towel. Sometimes this helps them to feel more secure. The more you touch him the better, in my experience anyway.

Edit: Also, thanks for taking him in :)

okay first of all, are you sure you mean giardia? giardia is a parasite and is easily transmissable to other pets. there is no 'vaccine' for it. so please be sure you understand what you're dealing with.

that said, if it is giardia, what are the pills? are they Flagyl (metronizadole)? if so you may have better luck with Panacur (fenbendazole) in liquid form. it doesn't taste as bad and if your cat is a good eater you may be able to hide it in canned food.

i've bought Safeguard and used it on cats, it's the same active ingredient as Panacur.

of course administering it directly is the safest bet. when i have an unruly cats who need meds i wrap them securely in a heavy towel or blanket so they can't scratch me. then it's just a matter of getting the syringe in their mouth.

The cats I have "rescued" have went from me to a no kill shelter because I was taking care of them in the alley. My own cats are inside and have never been out since I've had them. The one I took into the rescue last was placed in the bathroom when I took him in (for isolation). The director had let me know that when they went to see him he was gone (from a closed room). He actually went up into the ceiling vent! Can you believe? I went to visit him after he was fixed and incorporated into one of the open cat rooms. I was able to pet him still while no one else was. I went to visit again after a while and he made some more progress. Last time I looked on their website he had been adopted.

The reason I tell you is because as painful as it is to hear the yowling you have actually saved her. Maybe try giving her a stuffed animal that you have slept with, something to cuddle with. She might have had other cats with her outside and be lonely for them. Also is there a window that she can see out of without climbing the walls or being able to open it? She doesn't need to be outside but cats do like to look outside. I also leave the TV on for my cats. I don't want your mother to be upset so maybe something like this would help. I think the kitty needs a distraction. Also I leave my radio on to music (classic rock like Journey, Queen - my preference). No one likes to be in a closed and quiet room all alone, but don't worry because that is why you are making it so nice for her. How is she when you are in the room? Also I saw someone recommended Feliway and I make sock babies for them. Take some old socks and tie them inside a tube sock (a longer sock) and tie a knot in the end. It is like a kitty body pillow. If you sleep with the socks in your bed first for a day or two then they will smell like you.
