Kitten won't drink water from bowl. He drinks water from a syringe and off my hands/the floor but not from a bowl? He is scared of running water so a fountain would not work.

Don't worry, he will figure this out. For now, feed canned kitten food, and make sure your water bowl is small, not deep, and heavy enough that he won't knock it over. He will get the hang of it if he has the right bowel!
