Hello

No easy way. Just bring him in. but put him a bed in a quiet area, and make sure he has food and water and a littler box handy.. You may find out the litter box is not to his liking though if he is an outdoor kitty.

IF he does not use it and poops in the house.. try taking the poo and putting it in his litter box.

Introduce him to the litter box right away by putting him in it.

Dont let him back outside for a couple of months if you wish to keep him inside.

Good Luck

kitty..meet inside. inside.kitty.
Just bring him inside, he shouldn't have problems with the liter box either. He may want to go outside from time to time.
Good luck I love cats
try calling kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.
Just bring him in.
PUT A LITTER BOX INSIDE AND WATER AND FOOD AND DON'T LET THE KITTY OUTSIDE FOR AT LEAST ONE MONTH, THEN HE WILL GET USE TO BEING INSIDE.
Flea spray.fresh litter box.a cozy place to rest and a can of wet cat food..little half/half.he'll bea happy camper!
It's easy - just wear thick gloves, eye protection and boots with steel toe caps.
You need to first take him to the vet for shots and/or a routine check up. This way it gets rid of all the dieseases he may have. Then the cat should be ready to come inside.
bring a wild cat indoors when you decide you really hate you furniture
I found a stray in bad shape that I had some problems assimilating to indoors. He cried at the door for a few days and was obviously depressed and anxious to go back outside. After a short time he stopped sitting at the door and crying and started to get back to his lovable self. It doesn't take them long to realize it's better in than out. I would make sure to flea treat before you bring him in though.
You'll break their spirit.avoid this
If he has been outside his whole life he may not like being inside. Bringing him inside may upset him more. I think that it's easier to acclimate a house cat to go outside on occassion than it is to have an outside cat become an indoor animal.

Are you prepared to deal with any potty issues (not using a litterbox) because he's probably going wherever he dang well pleases now.

I'd make it his idea. See if he is interested in coming in on his own rather than forcing him.

We did have several "barn" cats that ALL eventually became house cats but they still wanted to go outside everyday.
give it food
