I ended up with my cat Starbuck when she was 6 weeks old because someone threw her out of a car window. Luckily the person whose property she was dumped on saw it and grabbed her immediately. I have no idea at what age she was separated from mom and siblings. Kittens that young can have socialization issues as mentioned. Starbuck used to nip your nose a little too hard. I had to train her out of that habit. It took a while but it can be done. I was lucky there were no litter box issues. I do have other cats and they helped to socialize her. Is there any way you can get a 2nd cat that is a little older to be a playmate and teach the baby boundaries. I would probably still be getting bitten if my other cats did not teach Starbuck that biting was not an aceptable way to show affection.
I am glad you are taking this kitten since it sounds like you are willing to do what it takes.
