my 4 week kitty wont eat

I got a new kitten from someone yesterday and I dont think this cat was ready to be away from mommy. I have tried giving it kitty formula in a kitty bottle, in a dish and I have tried feeding it regular kitty food both wet and dry but this kitty refuses to eat and I am not sure what to do.

You should probably take the kitten back to the owner of the mother. It is indeed to early to take the kitten away. Here's some info:

My sister-in-law's cats are always having kittens....what she does is put the formula in a syringe and gives it to them that way...pushes a little bit of formula in the kittens mouth at a time and that usually works because then all they have to do is swallow.
