go to a petstore and get some kitten formula and a bottle.They may not want to take the bottle at first,but keep trying.

Along with feeding, you also need to remember to stimulate the kitten so that he/she will use the bathroom- to do this wet a rag with luke warm water and rub (using motion much like the mom would use with her tongue) to help him/her urinate & defecate. Many orphaned kittens die, and people think it's because they are not feeding them well, when sometimes it's due to their insides exploding because they do not know how to release bowels by themselves. Good luck,
Carrie

The KMR kitten formula worked well for my 3 week old also. I did have to use a disposable pie pan for the litter box because everything was too big . A small pack of baby wipes made life a little eaier for me with toilet training also. It was convenient to wipe his bottom to stimulate everything while in the litter box so he knew where was acceptable to go.
