Yes, that is probably a good plan. She is too young to go very long without eating. They can get easily hypoglycemic. She really should have stayed with her mom until 8 weeks of age. I know it is just 10-11 days more but that makes a big difference in a neonate. I would suggest trying this food: ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/royal-canin-feline-health-nutrition-baby-cat-loaf-wet-cat-food ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.
