For a 3-week-old kitten, feed them kitten formula, not regular cow's milk. Use a bottle designed for kittens and feed them every 4-6 hours. Monitor their weight to ensure they are growing properly. As they approach 4 weeks, you can start introducing a gruel made from kitten formula mixed with wet kitten food.
