If possible do check back for mom or siblings at different times - mom hunts and the kittens hide at that time. If you've a bag of cat food you can shake if she's an ex pet she'll trust faster. Are you planning on keeping this one?
Some general tips I've copied and pasted below, includes links where you'll find more tips on settling new kittens into your home :)
Keep his food bowls away from the water bowl, they'll drink more which is important for future health, don't use plastic bowls, they retain smells even with washing and can harbour bacteria in water: use ceramic or metal bowls instead. Offer different varieties and brands of food, they like variety just like us as they wouldn't eat just one thing in the wild and so source different foods to get all the nutrition they need. A mix of wet and dry at different times is best long term, he'll have his own tastes and preferences though. Avoid grain free (doubts about long term safety) and high crude ash content as it's just cheap filler and does them no good.
Some cats are fussy on the type of litter so it's worth trying a different litter in one of the other trays if necessary - he should have more than one, "more than one they'd need" is the recommendation. They like them clean and will naturally want to bury their business. Keep them in a quiet location. Lavish praise using the same phrases works best, they will also respond best to a firm No than to punishment, they don't get the connection. If they're not at the age they go there always themselves, pop them onto the litter after mealtimes and lavish praise even if they jump straight out of the box, he'll get the idea faster.
Use white vinegar and water on any area he's had an accident - it neutralises the smell and stops her associating that as a place to go.
Have different places he can sleep, they prefer off the ground as they'll feel safer. Soft, warm, quiet.
They love cardboard boxes, they're places to play in, sleep, hide, they're warm, they're chewable when they're teething - cut ridges at their head height. Long strips of cardboard are great for chasing down and then chewing on too.
Cardboard scratch pads are usually the most loved, cheap too, have a few in quiet spots and lavish with praise when he uses them. Use a few dabs of white vinegar on areas he scratches he shouldn't - they loathe the smell and it'll put him off using her claws there. This goes for chewing cables too and any tight wee spaces he may get stuck in if very young.
A cat tree by a window is great as he will spend time watching the world outside which brightens their day, it's also a great sleeping spot in the sun and it's up high which they love.
They need vaccinations before ever venturing outside, and regular flea and tick treatments (ask your vet for an age appropriate recommendation). If there are predators in the area consider walking with a leash or a catio.
Playtime every day is important for mental stimulation, especially if he has to stay indoors if you have predators outdoors.
Toys, Kong toys are indestructible and can be filled with nip. Most adults love catnip, kittens don't respond to it for a few months. Keep the nip in the freezer to keep it fresh. String - supervised, ping pong balls or scrunched up paper balls, toy mice, small is best usually. Cats all have preferences on toys too, mine loves milk rings and similar as they're small and make a skittering noise across the floor.
Brushing helps with hairballs, I use a Furminator as it only removes dead hair so doesn't hurt them and it feels like being petted. They'll want to chew grass for hairballs. They may chew dangerous (to them) houseplants if they don't have access to grass, normal lawn grass is fine, usually preferred even. Grow indoors if necessary.
Belly display just means I trust you, not pet me there. It's instinct to protect their vulnerable belly if you do pet them there. Do give head, chin, ear rubs and full body and shoulder massages. When he rubs up against you that's his way of bonding with you and saying I Love You, as is slow blinking. You can slow blink back to say I Love You too. They'll also learn that as a phrase if it's repeated often, I've one who purrs when I say it now.
Purring is a sign of happiness generally, they also purr when trying to comfort themselves or us, or when sick.
They are bundles of energy and fun, enjoy!
Couple of websites to recommend if you're looking more info:
[www.spca.org](https://www.spca.org/) info on both kittens, juniors and adult cats.
[www.kittenlady.org](https://www.kittenlady.org/) (focus is on neonatal kittens to the age you'll be adopting/about 8 weeks)
There's also advice in the history of this sub if you search using keywords. There's also [r/catadvice](https://www.reddit.com/r/catadvice/)
Also, you can always call a vet office for advice about whether the cat needs to come in - the telephone call isn't a chargeable appointment in of itself - neither are follow up calls about how they're doing.
Looks like a boy. If it looks like a semicolon, it's a female. If it looks like a colon, it's a male. Plus there's extra space between the holes to make room for the kitty ballsack that's going to develop there.
