Judging from the pictures you have provided, I would guess that he is likely about 10 weeks of age. I would feed him a kitten formula such as science diet. I would also get him examined by a veterinarian and start his vaccinations at this age. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
