It was mosly a matter of time with Shadow. He spent the first month living under our spare bed because he was so scared of everyone and everything. Eventually we discovered that he liked playing with a things that were dangled at him on strings. We enticed him out into the rest of the house that way and then went through a really painful period of gently patting him on the head from time to time and letting him run away and hide.
He had to go to the vets several times during that period and we just had to grit our teeth and chase him out from under the bed and pick up our obviously very unhappy cat and put him in the cat carrier because he really needed to go to the vet for his own good. It wasn't much fun for anyone :(
