Abandoned kitten can anyone help?

We have a cute little orange kitten who's mom abandoned it, she took the 4 sibs but not this cutie.

It is a barn cat, so please keep that in mind when you answer. I know that cows milk is not good for them as I've tried that before. Someone said something about eggwhites, can anyone help me out?

I don't want to go through my vet, I'm wanting a home made concoction that will suffice this cute little kitten.

Thanks!

Update:

I appreciate your concerns, but you guys didn't answer my question. I 'm not looking for a kitten powder mix, and I and my family are perfectly capable of taking care of a kitten. I'm looking for a home recipe. I know there is one that includes egg whites. What I'm asking is if anyone knows the rest of the mix?

    i dont know where you are but in the UK you can buy kitten milk designed especially - i'm sure its also available elsewhere.

    Do not give cows milk under any circumstances as cats are naturally lactose intolerant.

    unless you are willing to feed every 2 hours day and night i recommend takin the cat to the Rescue centre. they are better equipped and kittens all go to homes quite quickly

    God Bless and Good Luck

    EDIT Why would you want to try and concoct your own milk? You obviously know nothing about kitten nutrition and experimenting on a small defenseless animal is wrong. If you wont take the advice given on this forum then you should take that cat to a sanctuary for its own good as you are more likely to kill it than cure it with your home made messes

    how old is it...if it has eyes open it might take wet cat food(the solid style and mash it down real well. I have done that in a pinch to get a kitten to make it for a night till pet store opened. Most pet stores and even some grocery stores sell kmr or just born kitten milk
