There are various reasons for fur loss, given this kitten's history, I'd say he's suffering dietary deficiencies. Other rule outs would include fleas, mites, mange or ringworm, fungal or immunological problems, the latter 4 only able to be detected by your vet.

When we had this problem it was a Vit E deficiency. Ask your vet if you can give the kitten 100 IU daily. Maybe a kitten would need less.
