My 3-month-old kitten is throwing up and eating less. Is she sick?

Question

We adopted a 3 month old kitten. The shelter said to give 3oz of wet food and 1/4 cup dry food. She does eat but in small amounts. She eats about half that amount in a day. She recently started throwing up once a day and has normal bowel movements. She is still active and seems happy. Is she just adjusting to food still or is something else wrong?

If Josie is eating the same food she did at the shelter, then I suspect that is not the cause of her vomiting. It could be she is sick, and that would account for the decreased appetite. Vomiting isn't normal, I'd take her into the vet first thing in the morning.
