If not she's going somewhere - either in the litter box or outside. Chances are a small kitten like that wouldn't leave enough to even notice - but do go to this site http:www.sspca.org/Cats there are tips here on cat behavior and how to get them to use the litter box. Hope it works out for you. Have you seen any ‘accidnets’ around the house? If not she’s going somewhere - either in the litter box or outside.

I do fosters where I work and they know what the box is for. If she hasn't gone in 3 or 4 days, give some cat lax or vegetable oil, mineral oil, or non spice pumpkin that has been canned. She most likely is adjusting to the food and environment, so she may not go for a few days. She should be able to use a litter box by now. I do fosters where I work and they know what the box is for.
