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.
