Ask a vet.

The vet can tell by the growth of it's teeth. They start to get certain teeth at certain ages...like human babies do...If they are already all in the kitten is over 6 months old. If there is already tartar developing on teeth it may be over 1 year or 2...If there is significant tartar, it is over 5+ This is a medical Generalization as they get older because, if it is a stray, u don't know if previous owners have had its teeth cleaned in the past. But u are asking about a kitten. So the incoming teeth are what matter in this situation.

You woulden't be able to tell his exact age but depends on how big he is If he is on food but small like a kitten I would say around 7-9 weeks.
If he is on milk still he would be around 1-6 weeks.
My guess would be 10 weeks as people tend to dump kittens when there off the mother but just old enough to fend for themselves.
I hope I helped, Take good care of it, I hate people who are crule to animals!
Goodluck.

Their eyes open between 10-12 days. Teeth start comming in around 3-4 weeks. One good way to tell is weight. If he looks healthy and is filled out properly each pound equals a month of growth. I hope that helps. Good luck and congrats on saving another life.

hi if the baby kitty will drink milk from a bowl she is probably about 5 weeks, if she drinks from an eyedropper she is probably about 2 to 3 weeks, OR YOUNGER they usually start eating solid (make sure it is dry first cause canned causes diareha) foods when they are about 7 weeks, and i have taken care of newborn kittens before lots of times , and i think they are born with teeth and they start to grow bigger with each day, eme if you need anymore info, at iadorecats1955@netscape.com

You can't tell exactly, but look at its teeth, if they look rotted and old then the cat is ole but if there clean and neat then the cat is younger. Also when cats get to be about 8 or 9 their fat starts to hang under their bellies and it look like drooping skin.

When we took our kittens in, they said that to start off with, kittens tend to weigh 1 pound for every month old they are. And it seems pretty right on...

there is a website called purina kitten wise it will tell you what to expect from your cats body language and personality in every stage of its life you can look it up and compare their charts to your cats behavior and that should give you an approximate answer!
