How to help my new kitten adjust to her new home and stop crying?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I have a new kitten. Couple months old. Siamese. Female. Shes been here for about 23 hours. How do I help her get used to her new home? She cries all night and day so far. She eats, drinks, and uses her pan. She cries in her sleep too.

Congrats on your new kitten! It's very good that she is eating, drinking, and uses her litter box. It will take her time to adjust to her new place, as moving to a new home is stressful. She is showing she is adjusting by eating, drinking, and using the litter box. I would give her attention as much as possible, playing with her and showing her love. This will make the adjustment less stressful, and show her that her new home is a comfortable place to live. I'd also get her a cat tree and set it up by a window. She can use it as a scratching post, and can sit on the levels to look out the window. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
