My sister recently got a kitten (stray) a few weeks ago and I'm starting to notice that he's pooping everywhere. His anus is a bit pink and swollen and he has diarrhea. His poop has a bit of mucus and a tad bit of blood. What do I do

This could be due to a colitis, which is an inflammation of the last part of the intestine (colon). As a first approach, I would recommend to I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
