My 5-week-old foster kitten cries in its box at night. What can I do?

Question

I'm fostering a five week old kitten for three weeks and I've been with him for more than a week now but when I put him in his box, he tends to cry a lot and at times over night. I provide him with his litter box, milk, water, food, and I leave the heater on so he can stay warm but he still cries. What should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male

Sam is very young still and it might be that he is feeling pretty lonely being left alone! Keeping him near where he can see you, or letting him snuggle with a warm water bottle wrapped in a towel or a ticking clock in a towel may help. These help mimic a warm littermate and can be comforting to anxious kittens.
