Get a Vet
You need a good vet if you are going to care for a kitten. The worst thing you can do when caring for kittens of any age is neglect to take the cat to the vet. This is especially true if you have a kitten that your own cat had at home or that you found somewhere. Most kittens up for purchase and/or adoption have already been to the vet, but even then you must have a vet of your own.
