It sounds like your kitten is experiencing some serious symptoms, which can be quite concerning at her young age. Being cold, not eating, and showing lethargy are signs that she might be dealing with a significant health issue. One common cause in young cats is an upper respiratory infection, often due to viruses like herpesvirus or calicivirus. These infections can make kittens feel very unwell, leading to a loss of appetite and energy.

Another possibility is that she could be suffering from dehydration or a more severe systemic infection. Young kittens have weaker immune systems and can deteriorate quickly if they are not eating or drinking properly.

Given her age and the severity of her symptoms, it is crucial to get her to a veterinarian as soon as possible. Kittens can become critically ill very quickly, and professional care is essential to diagnose and treat the underlying cause. The vet will be able to provide supportive care, such as fluids and possibly antibiotics, to help her recover.

In the meantime, try to keep her warm and comfortable. You can use a warm blanket or a heating pad set on low (make sure it's not too hot and that she can move away from it if she wants). Offer her some warm, wet food or a little bit of chicken broth to see if she might be tempted to eat or drink.

Please take her to the vet immediately to ensure she gets the care she needs. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Thank you.
