My rescue kitten has gas and diarrhea. Should I be concerned?

Question

Hey, have a question about a kitty that I'm currently fostering. The kitten has been having a lot of gas and has used the bathroom three times but 2 out of 3 has had diarrhea. Should I be worried? Also I found the kitten under my dad's car. Pet's info: Cat | Turkish Angora | Male | 2 lbs

Situations such as abrupt change in diet such as kittens starting new food, a stressful situation (new environment) may cause a kitten to experience a brief episode of diarrhea. Diarrhea can be transient, short and readily treatable condition. I wouldn’t be too concern as long as he is eating, drinking, behaving normally and no vomiting. I would worm the cat at least twice 2 weeks apart and watch him carefully for the signs above in the next 1-2 days. If diarrhea persist beyond or the kitten stops eating/reduced activity/vomiting start please take him to a vet.
