So, I just found this thread and didn't read it all (just the beginning/end), so I apologize if this has been said, but have you looked into supplemental mother's milk for kittens? Some stores sell it, it's designed for kittens who either get separated from their mothers or who have mothers that can't help them in some form.

I found an injured kitten near my house a while back, and she was very weak and timid for a while, but we bought that milk for her and she improved dramatically. She became a lot more energetic and playful within like a day of giving it to her.

Sorry again if that's been mentioned before, but it came to mind there a bit.

Yes, we have been feeding it formula for a couple weeks and its moved up to mush.

TC I know this is going to sound a little out there, but that kitten needs to sleep next to you. It needs warmth and needs to feel safe. It will greatly help with growth and eating habits.
Its a baby and babies need to feel safe and taken care of.

The kitten needs more direct contact with you.
Make it fall asleep on your chest. You have to become its mother to the best of your ability.

I get where you're coming from and its fallen asleep on my chest several times, a few while I fooled it to think I was sleeping.
But I cannot actually sleep with it. I will toss and turn and throw it off or crush it. I usually roll a bit or move.
Is good. The way it follows me, it knows.

Man that Pectalin knocks him out!
...got scared cause I may have given a little too much, but luckily that doesn't seem to be too dangerous. He will be fine.
Also I got more sleep near his box, yay!
