Why does my kitten have reddish-yellow eye discharge and fur staining?

Question

I have a 4 month old calico/tabby kitten. She has all her shots, she's been spayed, etc. She's not showing irritation or pain and her eyes aren't red, but there's reddish/orange to yellowish leakage from her eyes, staining her white fur. Should I be concerned, and take her to the vet? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 months and 25 days old

Yes, she may have a viral or bacterial eye infection or corneal injury. Any one of these may cause excessive tearing with abnormal color. Corneal staining can diagnose scratches or ulcers not seen by the naked eye and obstructed tear ducts can be flushed to help drainage.
