    I got this off a site that will help you to know more about feeding your kitten.

    Feeding Kittens

    After weaning, your kittens can be fed any of the specially formulated kitten foods. They are available in many different flavours and textures. At three months of age, your kitten is still a baby and requires three or four small meals a day. To avoid finicky eating habits later, you should feed various flavours of foods during this time. If you switch between food types, you must always do so gradually, by mixing the original food with increasing quantities of the new food.

    As it grows older, meals should become larger and be less frequent. At twelve months your kitten is considered an adult and should be fed only twice a day. It is good to feed your cat a variety of foods, using a mixture of canned, dried and fresh foods if possible not forgetting to always read the label on the food container, as some foods are only supplements and not complete diets.

    You should feed your kitten with kitten/growth cat food until it is one year old. At that stage, gradually change the diet into regular cat food. The accelerated growth of kittenhood is usually complete and the cat should adjust to adult cat food and regular eating habits.

    Our Hope Simone is nearly 7 months old, and is probably about the size of a 12 week old kitten!!! Like several have posted, perhaps your baby, like Hope Simone, will just be petite. I call Hope Simone my " forever kitten." Just give lots of LOVE!!!
    Nine is Fine!!

    Thanks for everyone's advice. It actually seems like she has grown a bit this week. She has also discovered a new skill, she can jump on on very tall things now. She seems impressed with this discovery.

    If she's acting like a kitten, I wouldn't worry. My punks from hard circumstances--starvation, disease, disability, etc.--seem to stay a lot smaller than a sib from a healthier beginning. Since your baby was a homeless child, she might've had stuff in her background that doesn't show now. Sassy, who's mom had 6 babies with mastitis, hemobartonella, etc. is a sole survivor and is quite healthy at 4 pounds full-grown.
