I'm not sure if you just got Rhenso, but if you did, moving into a new home is stressful for a kitten, and he could be expressing that stress via vocalization. He would also be lonely and crying out for love and attention. Finally, it could be due to a medical problem, such as pain, and to rule that out, I would have him seen by a vet. After a medical cause if rule out, the vet can discuss behavioral treatment with you for his vocalization.
