Is it okay to take in a 1-month-old abandoned kitten? Could there be long-term consequences?

Hi everyone, my cousin found an abandoned kitten in her garage who is barely a month old according to the vet. Is it a problem to take in a kitten at this age? Is there a risk of them becoming aggressive later on because they haven't been properly socialised by their mum?

    The vet advised us to bottle-feed him for a while.

    Let's talk health first: if the vet says it’s OK, it’ll be fine. Behaviour-wise, if they're anything like dogs, the less a cat is properly weaned, the less well-adjusted they'll be.
