Hi Andrew,
I am glad you found our site. Thank you so much for rescuing this baby.
I was wondering if the kitten's eyes are open yet. If they are fully open then the kitten is probably between a week and two weeks old. She should start walking at about two to three weeks of age.
You should be feeding a milk replacer. Most people use KMR. Make sure you sterilize the bottle between feedings.
Here are feeding guide line:
One week old the kitten should eat 32 cc per serving and you should feed at least 6 times a day if not more.
At age two weeks feed 56 cc per serving and you should try and feed at least four times a day more if you can. Three weeks 80 cc per serving and try to feed at least three times per day.
You need to help the kitten go the bathroom. To stimulate bowel movement gently rub the kitten's abdomen and bottom with a cotton ball or pad or tissues moistened with warm water. Don't rub too much you only want to have kitten expel waste.
If she is going on her own she may be a little older then you think.
Good luck. Keep us posted.
