Oh My.. If the jkiten is just opening eyes he is VERY Young. It can be done though , because I used to raise kittens and have done my share of handraising from day one.
You need to get either Just Born or Nurse maid... or whatever you have locallly fo kitten replacement milk. If you can't find any, he local vet near you always usually has some for sale. You also need a syringe. I found it easier to use the small thin kind. Just follow directions on the can for feeding. You can also usually call a local vet and they are usually happy to help people who find stray kittens with instructions. You need to make sure that when you feed the kitten you go only as fats as the kitten can drink. If you see bubbles or wetness coming out the nose you are going to fast and drowning the poor baby. .Once the kitten starts thriving you need to upgrade to mixing the nursing formula wih crushed kittewn kibble to make a soup . Just WATCH to see if they can handle this. Also keep supplementing with the formula from the syringe. Once he is passed this stage you can go to just moist kiblble and then keep working your way to the regular food.
if you can get a food scale it would be great. They usually are under $20 in wamart and such. if the kitten starts LOSING you need to really watch and talk with vet. some vets will also let you come in and use therir scales if you take the kitten to a first visit. I took one of my jkittens every2 days for 3 months because she was so tiny and frail. the office kinda of got very attached to her. ....LOL... She was only 12 ounces at 14 weeks... but quite a little spitefire.
