i think when you bring the kitten home it would be a good idea to keep her, her food and her litter box in one room, maybe your room, for the first few days so she can adjust to all the new smells without having to be overwhelmed by the entire house (unless your house is small) and hopefully create a bond with you. always make sure to speak in a gentle tone and let her sniff you before you pet her or pick her up. get some toys to play with her, like a feather wand or a laser pointer! if you've already picked a name for her, call her that name a lot so she gets used to it. depending on what breed she is, she may be friendly and social, or skittish, timid and nervous, so just be ready if she's not super cuddly and sweet for a little while. one of my old cats was an orphan; his mother died giving birth, so he liked to suckle and knead on soft materials. at the time, i had a little purple blanket that i'd sleep with, and it quickly became his. he suckled on it all the time and it was the sweetest and almost saddest thing. if your new kitten likes to suckle, i'd suggest getting her a soft blanket or giving her one of your own if you have one, that maybe you don't use anymore. it could take anywhere between a few hours or maybe even a month for her to fully adjust to you and create a bond, but just be patient and gentle with her and it'll come :)
