Yes, I had to do this with my cat when she was a baby. She was found in the woods with no mom or siblings around. She didn’t understand how to eat out of a dish so I fed her kitten formula (from the pet store) in a bottle.

It’s okay to bottle-feed kittens provided that the milk is specially formulated for kittens. To bottle feed them, you should have them laying on their stomach with their head looking up. Place on hand firmly, but not forcefully, on the back, and use the other hand to hold the bottle up to the kitten’s mouth.
