I'm Taking Care Of An Abandoned 3-week Old Kitten. How Can I Feed It ?and Wash It ?

The kitten will need to be fed a kitten milk replacer.  The milk we drink is not well tolerated by their stomach and does not have the correct balance of nutrients and calories.  Kittens fed cow's milk almost always develop diarrhea.  The instructions for feeding should be on the box of milk replacer but a good general goal is:
Week 3 : 85 milliliters per pound body weight
Week 4: 100 milliliters per pound body weight
These should be divided into 3 equal meals a day.
The kitten should be able to suckle.  If it is unable to suckle or does not want to have your veterinarian show you how to tube feed this kitten.
Overfeeding is a common mistake people make.
At this age they should have their eyes open.  Kittens need to be stimulated to urinate and defecate until 3 weeks of age.  If your kitten still needs to be stimulated take a wet cloth and rub the genitals and anus.  Mother cats lick kittens in order to stimulate them.
Weaning starts at 4 weeks.  Initially start with a gruel make from kitten milk replacer and canned food.  By 6 weeks the kitten should be on canned kitten food only.
The biggest things to watch for in kittens is hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), hypothermia (too cold), and dehydration (from not eating or loss through vomiting and diarrhea).  If you have any concerns about this kitten please have it examined by a veterinarian--kittens do not have much reserve and can fade very quickly.
Vaccines and deworming should begin at 6-8 weeks of age.  Contact your veterinarian for more information.
Good luck with the little guy!
