First of all if your kitten does not have its eyes open yet, or is still way too young to eat solid food, then you still NEED to feed him/her. For a while you will need to get a kitten bottle and some formulated milk. (NOT regular milk! Must get milk meant for newborn kittens). You will need to bottle feed your kitten and here is a good website that has step by step instructions on how-to, http://cats.about.com/cs/kittencare/ht/bottlefeed.htm

Usually kittens will start to try soft, solid foods at around six weeks old. If at any point a kitten is refusing food, you need to take it to the vet immediately. Kittens, especially young kittens, can go downhill very fast if left to their own devices.

A bowl of water and some good commercial cat food, the wet kind (in a can). Leave the food where the cat can find it but under some kind of shelter - a bush, or under the eaves of a house - where the cat will feel safe eating. You should not try to approach the cat while it is eating. If you continue to feed the cat it will eventually learn to trust you and allow you to approach it.
