Answer
If your getting a kitten feeding kitten chow would be best something that u can get at your local grocery store, make sure you provide 2 clean dishes one for cat food and one with water.  The must be changed everyday so your cat doesn't get dehydrated if the waters stale most likely the cat won't drink it.  Also if the cat is going to be indoors you will need some cat litter and something to put the litter in, if you want to spend some money you can get a plastic litter box at any pet store or maybe a major grocery store,  but a cardboard box will do great.  Kittens must be fed at least 3 to 4 times a day until they are a year old then only 2 times daily.  Going to the library you can probably find numerous books and getting a new kitten or cat, which should be very useful.
