cats often love the cat/kitten milk but it does make them prone to diarrhoea. I would suggest stopping the milk. Do check for his worming date too though as thats the first thing to check with diarrhoea.

My cat (leroy <----) was found emaciated and had severe diarrhoea for many months after he started having regular meals so don't worry to much. It is best to take it slow in getting them back up to a normal weight.

Thank you for adopting a rescue cat  :)

Maybe the kitten milk is too rich for him so try stopping it.  Another possibility is that he has worms which can cause all sorts of tummy upsets and are common in kittens.  I would talk to the rescue again and ask when he was last wormed and what with.
