Oh no poor baby.
I would just be sure to take your kitten in first thing in the morning tomorrow.
A lot of vets are open on Saturdays mornings.
Just to be safe!
If you do not find a vet open, you can find an animal hospital if it worsens.
I hope all is well with your kitty! :(

UTI. especially if it looks like they are trying to pee frequently, but not at all or just a little bit. my cats used to get this often. but i would definitely take in asap. it might not be that, and they would still need meds for it, too.

Find an emergency hospital and take him today. He either has a UTI or something wrong with his kidneys. We adopted a kitten a couple years ago who was doing the same thing. He ended up having polycystic kidneys, which means his kidneys were full of cysts.

Take him to the vet right away.
Peeing blood is not a good sign.
Cats often get urinary tract infections. It could have gone to the kidneys. If the kitten is otherwise strong, it should respond well to treatment.

If you are potty training and the kitty doesn't have the hang of it, it could be retaining it's urine which can take on a deep orange color.
Be sure to get the kitty in to the vet or at least contact them to get some medication right away.
Don't wait. Don't assume that the kitten drinking more will help. Sometimes they can't get rid of their urine if they have an infection and a little IV can help to rehydrate them.
Document amounts of liquid ingested, amounts evacuated if possible, color, odor, frequency, etc.
Contact a vet. New kittens can be pretty fragile but bounce back with the proper care.
Best wishes.

It could be many things but when my cat had this symptom she had a urinary infection. Take her in as soon as you can so she isn't uncomfortable.
