Adopted Petco kitten vomiting, won't eat. What's wrong with him?

Question

I adopted a 2.5 Month old tabby kitten from Petco yesterday. He uses the litter, he drinks water, but would not eat. He threw up once yesterday, and tonight I bought him a small can of wet food so he would eat (nothing fishy) he threw up before he ate and after. Is it nerves? Should I take him back? He's also very vocal. I expected lots of meows though. He did eat though. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Offer small amounts of food and water every 4-6 hours during the day. If he continues to vomit I recommend having a Veterinarian examine him. You can also call and see what food he was eating at Petco. Causes of vomiting: food allergy or intolerance, vaccine reaction, intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections or a foreign body (ate something that is stuck). I hope this helps and I hope he has stopped vomiting! I wish you and Freddie the best!
