looks like you should get some KMR kitten replacement milk and some bottles or needleless syringes in the 1-2 ml size. also some people have good luck with new makeup sponges for suckling..drip sponge in milk and let kitten suckle. Raw Goats milk works too,.lots of wash clothes to wipe baby after feedings to get to wee/poo and pictures 
to show us the kitten

I presume the kittens isnt no infant any more? How old is shehe, can you post a pic or two for us to help and decide?
What had you tried with so far?
If she had mom till now, he isnt weaned as yet. So your problem is to get it to eat although he really doesnt yet how...
You can try with bottle or syringe feeding to begin with.
Or even - wet down your fingertops, and let it lick off
He will easiest recognize milk. but cow milk isnt that suitable. Do you have access to goats milk? or some kitten mothermilk replacement kmr ?
Proceeding
Proceeding. That small sponge mentioned by Foxycat is a good idea for getting a non weaned kitten to suckle and get in more than two drops a time from your fingertop.
IF the kitten is very weak, and cant suckle because of it, make a water solution of glucose sugar. If you dont have glucose sugar proper, you can use white caro syrup or honey. Make a water solution and smear its lips and gum - it gives quick energy.
What country are you in??
www.kitten-rescue.com has lotsa of ideas for helping both small and somewhat bigger kittens.
Do it eliminate on its own? If not, you must be prepared to help it with it.
A kitten whom is full, doenst feel hunger either, exaclty as humans.
Waiting or further reports with further advices!

This kitten needs to eat every two hours around the clock until it is stabilized. Kitten must be kept warm, and food must be warm. Please let us know what you are feeding and how much.
Kitten may need to be stimulated to pee and poop, depending on its age. This should be done before and after each feeding.
