Probably the kitten was sick and mom knew it. If this happens the momcat will remove the kitten to give the others a better chance. You need to find this kitten ASAP as it will need a vet, if it is still alive.

Kirsten...I would take the kitten to the vet. I had that happen with one of my fosters and she ended up dying of pneumonia. Best to have a vet check her out.

Sadly, momcats will do this with babies that are ill. If it is always the same kitten, get the kitten to the vet NOW- if it is different kittens, she wants the whole nest moved.
