You have to keep the baby very warm. In order to do this, you will require heating pads. In terms of feeding, bottle feeding or syringe feeding will be necessary at first. The kitten is old enough how ever that after a week or two you should begin to be able to offer a gruel like consistency of kitten food. The type of milk you should be feeding is called Kitten Milk Replacer and can be found at most farming supply stores or pet stores. Here is a link on how to do it and everything you will need to know about dealing with an orphaned kitten:
