You might not be feeding him enough. He might need to be stimulated to excrete waste. He might just be calling for his mother. Are you spending time cuddling him? Is he warm enough? Should be at least 76 degrees. Or he could be sick.

What if the kitten doesn't have its mom and the kitten is 4 weeks old?
If the kitten is four weeks old, you still need to feed it formula kitten milk, which you can get at your local vets. The weaning process should begin at about five weeks, but it still needs the nursing experience to satisfy its suckling needs until it is about eight or ten weeks old. However, the best solution is to find another cat who has just had kittens, or still has kittens, but has strength and milk enough to feed an extra. Move the kitten to it's new "nursing mother" until 12 weeks. Cat's should not be without a nursing mother, or a professional before 12 weeks for many reasons. A mother cat will make the weaning process easier, and will teach the kitten how to groom itself, toilet training, and vital social skills.
Can you give your kitten purina cat food?
It depends on the age. If your cat is under 4 weeks, NO. A big fat NO. You can give a kitten purina kitten chow once it is weaned. If the kitten is 4 weeks or under, it will need KMR. (Kitten milk replacer) It should be fed with a bottle intended for nursing kittens, NOT a baby bottle with a baby nipple.

How do you determin the age of an abandoned kitten?
Ways to tell the age of a baby kittens. Newborns up to the 10 days have their eyes closed . If a kitten has blue eyes, it is less than 7 weeks old. If the kitten has the umbilical cord attached it is less than 3 days old. Checking a kitten's teeth is a good way to determine how old the kitten is. The centre incisors will erupt from the gums at about 3 weeks, outer incisors about 4 weeks, canines about 4 weeks, upper molars about 8 weeks, lower molars about 5 weeks. Kittens will eat independently at 5 weeks of age. Kittens under 3 weeks aren't toilet trained.
