What causes eye discharge and diarrhea in an emaciated stray kitten?

Question

I found a stray kitten, presenting with yellow (pus-y) looking discharge coming from the eyes. Distended anus, unable to control bowels, diarrhea that's very smelly. Kitten is still eating wet foods and is drinking water. I have rinsed the kitten off a few time after spoiling him/herself. Kitten is emaciated. I was planning on taking the kitten in to the vet tomorrow morning. Hoping for some answers.
