Your kitten sounds very sick and in need of veterinary care, especially since her gums are pale. She needs to be examined by a vet to determine the cause of her problems and treat. If she has any fleas than the pale gums could be from a flea anemia. She could also have an infection or an intestinal parasite. Your vet can run some lab-work to check her red blood cell count and if it is very low than she may need a transfusion. Please call a vet and have her seen as soon as possible.
