Please try to get kitten formula. I do not recommend using anything else as it can lead to severe diarrhea that can be debilitating in tiny kittens. Most pet stores, farm supply stores or vet clinics should carry kitten milk replacer. Even some grocery stores may have it. There is a homemade formula at this link if you truly can't get milk replacer right away but every diet/formula change leads to risk of diarrhea. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=576

Soy milk baby product isn't a suitable milk replacer for this kitten, and it will not be giving her the nutrients she needs. She needs a kitten formula such as KMR, which can be gotten from a pet store or grocery store. You need to go out now to get this formula or she could die from being fed an inadequate diet. Keep her warm, remember to stimulate her to pass feces and urine after being fed, and have her seen by a vet first thing in the morning. I will put a link below to a website that has more details on bottle raising kittens: http://www.2ndchance.info/orphankitten.htm

I will put a link below to an emergency kitten formula, but you will need to get the kitten formula as soon as the stores open in the morning. I hope this helps! https://kittenrescue.org/2017/03/recipes-emergency-kitten-formula/

You did not mention how old Lulu was. If she is between 6 weeks old or older, she is weaned and does not need any milk. I don't recommend to give cats milk if they are consuming a normal commercial balanced cat food. If Lulu is younger than 6 weeks, this Royal Canin milk is meant to be a supplement to kitten food and is meant for kittens 4-12 weeks of age. If she is younger than 4 weeks, she needs a different type of formula like KMR which is a milk replacer and not a supplement.

You should really try to get KMR ordered online as that is going to be the best to feed her. There are other brands you could get too like Just Born. Emergency homemade formulas are not nutritionally balanced for a kitten, so you should feed your kittens emergency formula for only as long as it takes you to get some kitten milk replacement formula -- hopefully no more than 24 hours. In a pinch you can make homemade formula as follows: RECIPE 1 quart whole goat’s milk 1 teaspoon light Karo syrup 1 tablespoon nonfat plain yogurt (goat’s milk preferred) 1 egg yolk 4 packages of Knox unflavored gelatin Put goat’s milk in saucepan, add gelatin in the amount above depending on the kitten’s age. Heat goat’s milk/gelatin mixture just until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat. Mix in remaining ingredients and refrigerate. It will keep up to one week. Heat until the formula is nearly warm, check the temperature, then test a few drops of milk on your wrist first. It should feel just
