If the pouches are canned food then the kitten is getting some water from that. If the food is dry food and you are concerned and she/he really isn't drinking anything then you might want to have her checked by a Vet.

Hi There,
Any new cat or kitten needs to be vet checked anyway, so I recommend making an appointment. You need to find out if the kitten is healthy, start vaccines, or set up a schedule to start if the kitten is too young. Testing for Feline Leukemia is also a must.
I agree with WildCat. If you are feeding pouches of food containing a lot of water, you may not see the kitten drink. Please avoid offering milk, though. It will probably cause diarrhea, as most cats are lactose intolerant.
Regards,
