He looks to be about 8 weeks old but I cannot really tell from a photo. I also cannot tell his breed from the photo. I suggest you take him to a vet for an exam. They can tell you everything you need to know about taking care of him. I'm sure he needs vaccines and deworming. Feed him the amount of food listed on the instructions on the bag of cat food.
