Orphaned kitten ate cheese & sardines. How do I transition food?

Question

We rescued an orphaned kitty 3 days ago &!have been bottle feeding supplement. We noticed her chewing on the nipple quite a bit. I just experimented, and she ate some cheese from my sandwich. We’re shocked. And she ate a tidbit of smashed up sardines. How should we feed her? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 13 days old | 0 lbs

Kittens are weaned starting at 4 weeks old. id she is this age, start supplementing her with canned and dry kitten food. Do not feed her any more cheese or sardines. These may seriously upset her stomach.
