Please provide a little more information about the kitten such as age and size? Kittens begin weaning at 4 weeks old and thus they don't need formula. Since you have financial constraints, you may want to look into a local rescue (if available). Kittens require a lot of care their first year (vaccines, anti-parasitics and being sterilized). It may be best to find an alternative arrangement. I hope this helps and we'll be looking for your next question.
