I just found this kitten two days ago and brought it home, it is a wild kitten, with no home. The mother was taken to the SPCA. the kitten is old enough to eat dry cat food and is a boy, from what I can tell. Unfortanely I cannot RUSH my kitten to the vet right now since I am working and just found it two days ago when the vet's offices are closed. I apologize for not adding all this details in the earlier message. She has been eating some dry cat food and some cat's milk over the counter milk. I plan on taking her to the vet this evening hopefully!! The kitten has not gone to the bathroom since I have had it in my eyesite and my care. THank you for all the answers and I thought that it might have worms. The kitten hopefully is not pregnant. I plan on getting it spayed or nuetered and finding out more info this evening or this week! Thanks!

Sometimes, when you find a stray kitten, they are "running on empty". It can take some time to get from the mouth to the other end, if there was nothing in there to start with. I'm sure you will feel a lot better after seeing the vet.
Thanks for being kind enough to take that kitty in.

If your only concern is the kitten hasn't hasn't gone to the bathroom, be easy about it, two days is a long time but it certainly doesn't signal imminent danger. Young kittens are stimulated to eliminate by their mothers licking them, then she, er, eats it, so it may be missing that and doesn't know how to go on it own. It might also be constipated from the change of diet.
Your vet will be able to help, relax, you're doing exactly the right thing.
Best wishes and congratulations on your new baby!

kitties do not get preggers until they are about 6 months old.or more. kitten is probably scared. scared kitties do not go bathroom. do you have a litter pan and astroturf/fake grass?
what typre environment did the kitten use for peeing outdoors? grass? dirt? sand? sawdust?? explore, find out what will relax the kitty, and he will come around. keep the litter box in the bathroom--take him in there when you use it.
kittens are able to keep their urine for loooong periods of time before they urinate. my kiten at 3 months of age was not urinating for periods of up to 12 hours. no ill effects--he just didn't have to go then.
keep plenty of water out for him to drink--find out what kind of drinking container the kitten is most comfortable drinking from.
sometimes they do not go because they do not drink.
be patient with kitty--feral kitties are the best ousecats--they love indoors--safe. warm. no predators. and they are very loyal.

She has allergies like my poor kitten does. She needs antibiotics. Get to your vet right away.
