Answers:
Hi Missy.she may be about 6-7 weeks old.

Here's an excerpt from a web article about determine the age:

Aging the Kittens:
Eyes: They begin to open at 7-8 days and all eyes should be open by day 10. Their eyes generally change from blue to blue/gray then yellow/green between 6 1/2 to 7 weeks of age.

Teeth: Another way to age the kittens is by the teeth. The following is from the Cornell Book of Cats. The ages are when the teeth break the skin or 'eruption of the teeth' happens, or when they break the surface.

Baby teeth:

Center (4) Incisors (front teeth between the canines) 2-3 weeks
Outer Incisors (still between the canines) 3-4 weeks
Canines 3-4 weeks
Upper molars (called a premolar) 2 months (8 weeks)
Lower molars (called a premolar) 4-5 weeks

Adult teeth:

Center (4) Incisors (front teeth between the canines) 3-1/2 to 4 months (14-16 weeks)
Outer Incisors (still beaten the canines) 4 to 4-1/2 months (16-18 weeks)
Canines 5 months
Upper molars (called a premolar) 4-1/2 to 6 months (depending on tooth)
Lower molars (called a premolar) 5-6 months for all
Upper molar in back, no baby tooth, just the molar at 4-5 months

At 1lb in weight your kitten sounds as if it is either undernourished or is very young. My guess would be 8 weeks old.

The teeth come quickly, but like humans, they lose their milk teeth and grow adult ones.

sounds like she is just a few weeks old. you should really take her to the vet to make sure that she is healthy with in 5 days of adoption or finding the kitten. your vet will be able to tell you anything you need to know.

i have a seven week old kitten and she has all her teeth. don't know how much she weighs though!

at that weight she is probably about 5-6 weeks old. I would still take her to the vet to find out if she is healthy and start her on vaccinations
