Don't feed the kitten dry food. Keep her on wet food of high quality. Dry food has a lot of carbohydrate, and cats, as obligate carnivores, can't handle that and very often develop diabetes due to dry food.
Besides, she's way too young for crunchy dry food right now. She's barely old enough to be weaned.
There is absolutely no reason to declaw a cat, so please don't.
The best advice I can give you, besides pleading with you to PLEASE realize this is a 15+ year commitment (and if you have any doubts, please take her to a shelter while she's still small and adoptable) is that cats are very intelligent and curious. They need a lot of mental and physical stimulation and exercise. Get some interactive toys for her and dedicate some time to her every day. They absolutely crave routine, and without that and any sort of stimulation, they can develop behavioral problems.
This is a commitment. Please love your cat and commit to her, a sentient, living, feeling, breathing creature with emotions and feelings, for the rest of her life.

If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.
