It really depends on how much she weighs. There should be a feeding guideline on the bag of cat food based on the weight of your kitten. Follow that guideline and then adjust based on her growth and weight. Split the total amount into three feedings per day.

    Feed your kitten 4 times a day as much as it likes to eat. Feed canned kitten food. Try out how much she will eat and adjust the following feedings accordingly. Once she is 4 months old, you can feed her daily ration divided in three feeds daily.
