I'm sorry to hear about the passing of Tom's mother. He could be crying due to many reasons' including an upset stomach, not eating enough, not eating the right thing, being cold or having trouble using the bathroom. Here is a link about raising orphaned kittens: https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-raise-orphan-kittens/ You will need to take full care of Tom until he is old enough to care for himself. Please feel free to post any additional questions.

    It would be hard to say. Making sure you're keeping the kitten warm and feeding every few hours may help keep him full and more comfortable. I'm attaching a guide on orphan kitten care that may help as well. https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-raise-orphan-kittens/
