3 - 9 weeks old, with them becoming progressively harder to tame with every day over about 8 weeks.
While kittens up to the age of 12 weeks can be tamed,
older kittens often retain a degree of fearfulness and a small
percentage of kittens (approx 10%) will not tame at all.
There is no magical age at which kittens become untameable.Cat workers must prioritise those kittens which stand a good chance of being homed as pets; this means concentrating on younger, more responsive kittens
Older kittens and young cats which 'come round' tend to bond with one person and should be found suitable permanent homes as soon as possible. Even then, the stress of rehoming may cause a completely tame 'feral' to temporarily revert until it bonds with the new owner. It is tempting to keep such "one-person" kittens. Before attempting to tame feral kittens, bear in mind that there will be some which will never tame however much love, effort and attention you lavish upon them
