Honestly I'm not sure.  Poop maybe?  

Are you keeping this kitten? He needs a vet visit and needs to be tested for FIV/FeLV, vaccinated, dewormed and given a general checkup.  Do you have a vet?

You are this cat's hero, thank you for rescuing him!

Looks like an infected anal gland, possibly.  He should see a vet, because that could be very uncomfortable and could turn into an abscess.  Thanks for rescuing him!

Looks like some type of infection, I would get this kitty to the vet asap if you haven't already.

This is exactly what I was thinking...something with the anal gland(s).
