| you can maybe start with cat food soaked with milk? although 3 weeks is a little early to wean, just try it and see if he kitten is ready to accept solid food?, and since you say its only 3 weeks old you start deworming it, from the vet. and while you are the vets' office, you can take the opportunity to ask the vet to age the cat to have a better idea of the cats' actual age! |

we usually vaccinate kittens at about 2 months (8 weeks) of age, to which is followed by 2 more boosters at a month apart.
any vaccination earlier is not recommended due to maternal antibody interference. |
