Keep plenty of fresh water available in a ceramic or pyrex bowl. DO NOT FEED THE CAT ANY FOOD FOR 24 HOURS. You can give the cat NutriCal or Vitacal, about one inch of the "paste" on your finger on the roof of the cat's mouth, 3 or 4 times a day. This product is a high-calorie, vitamin-enriched gel/paste that bypasses the digestive system, so it can be given to animals with upset stomachs. If the cat is vomiting more than 24 hours without any sign of improvement, call a veterinarian and get your cat in immediately. If the cat is vomiting blood, do not delay in getting him to the veterinarian! I corrected my typos!
A kitten that does not eat can become a serious issue. The longer the kitten goes without food, it's appetite will decrease the harder it will be to coax it to eat. It is strongly advisable to take it to a vet as soon as possible, especially if it is a young kitten. The quicker the kitten is treated, the better.
In the meantime, the first thing to do is to make sure the kitten is drinking, as it will no longer be getting moisture from its food (if it is fed on wet food). Kittens can become dehydrated very quickly and this can become fatal in a matter of days. Try feeding the kitten smelly foods such as white fish such as cod and cooked chicken. Prawns are also a good food to try and entice the kitten to eat. Warming the food first makes it smell even stronger which may help, also.
As far as fluid goes, kitten milk can be bought from most superstores or pet stores. If trying boiled chicken or cooked fish, mixing some of the cooking water into a little food will help get a little extra moisture into the kitten.
If your kitten is sick and not eating, you should take her to the vet immediately. Trying to feed her different foods at home may make her sick or cause her to get food in her lungs which could kill her.
Plain, easily digested foods are usually best. The most common foods given to an unwell cat is plain cooked chicken or steamed white fish as these are very good for helping settle a cat's upset stomach. Be sure to get as much fluid into your cat as possible as cats, like humans, get very dehydrated from vomiting or having diarrhoea.
Additionally, malt pastes such as Pro-kolin are an effective treatment for upset stomachs. Such pastes are beneficial to a cat as it helps promote a healthy digestive system and helps settle an upset stomach. You can get these via your vet.

Whatever the cat was eating when it was 3 to 5 weeks of age is what the cat will eat. That is why I make sure my cats gets a very wide variety of food. Start small with someting you know the cat will eat. Add 25% of the new food for a week. The next week at 50% new stuff and 50% old stuff. the third week at 75% new stuff and 25% old stuff. The following week at 100% new stuff. If the cat refuses, go back to the previous week.

You should take it to a vet's office, and see if they can do anything there, and, in the meantime, keep trying to feed it. And make sure you are feeding it the special kind of kitten formula, and not ANY kind of milk. If it drinks milk, it would get sick.
