This kitten just showed up at my house and now I don't know what to do

[Eden83_haaretz]

He always tries to be near me and does not attack anyone. Idk about "wild" but he is very playful and runs here and there alot (like zoomies in dogs) and plays alot with ball, toys etc. He is always screaming for cuddles.

Strays tend to be the best cats you can have if they display that kind of attachment.
He might just win over the family over time.
They're also very adaptable, they can live in small spaces as long as they have entertainment (my 2 cats live in 30 Square meters). They live indoors 24/7; just didn't want to deal with the anguish and loss of another cat; had an incident with a female cat I cared for immensely (had trained her to do tricks) and I used to let her go out, then someone killed her (they killed her with sticks and possibly dogs), that's when I decided I'd never let them out again without supervision (they'll go out in the garden just a bit while I watch them and then go right back in).

He has a litterbox and uses it. I have saved enough money to get him neutered and I can get 50% discount if I report him as a stray to the vet.

Great, seems like you've got almost everything covered, just start researching about cat behavior, Jackson Galaxy is pretty good for cat behavior.

I'm so sorry for your loss people can be disgusting. Ik people who have killed a juvenile kitten just because it posed a threat to their birds.
I plan on begging my family to let me keep him inside because he is adorable and he deserves it and because he is very conscious about his hygiene and because he keeps getting in the hood of cars.

Great idea, had a kitten once that did the same thing, she went I to the hood of a car; that person turned on the car and heard a weird clang, thank God she got away with just a scratch in her head, could have been worst... If he's as sweet as you say he'll probably win over the whole family, just ask them to interact with him as much as they can so he'll become a social cat.

Some cute pictures I took yesterday before bathing him. Bath wasnt as much of a disaster as I thought it would be. He was calm just kept meowing. The real disaster was trying to dry him with a blower.
(I did not get the permission to keep him inside yet . )

He's adorable. Keep trying to make your family interact with him, tell them that just by them being in the same space it'll help him become a social cat and you'll avoid skittish behavior (you definitely don't want him just trusting you and possibly scratching someone that might try to pet him).
If you plan on giving him a collar, just make sure he can't escape your garden with it. Cats sometimes get stuck in places because of the collars and get into perilous situations they can't get out of because of them.

I'm trying. He does good with other people too but trusts them less. We are working on it. The collar is designed to break away in those type of situations.

He is cute as can be! It's ok if he's not best friends with everyone as long as he tolerates them that's what matters most. You will have a loving and loyal cat in him just look at the focus he has it's love and admiration mixed with play with me!

Update:
He has grown ALOT and was doing good until now. My parents fed him fried fish (without bones) last night and today he is refusing to move, eat and is throwing up bile. I did not see his stool yet becuase he stopped using his litterbox ever since he learned to climb the wall and make it to the neighbours backyard but I can tell that he has BAD diarrhea. I took him to the nearest vet and he checked his temp. He had a 104 fever and he gave him some injections and gave us a metronidazole syrup to give him 2 times a day and gave me a dewormer. He still hasn't eaten anything yet. I'm really worried .

Oh, the poor buddy. I hope he'll improve quickly.
Did the vet think it had anything to do with the fish?
