Get her in routine just like a baby really, feed her twice early in the day and leave some food for her to nibble on throughout the day.
She should calm down soon, it can take up to 8 weeks to get settled with you as she was adult when you got her. Its safer for her if you keep her in at night as cats love to roam.
If all else falls try sleeping tablets for yourself or the cat (joke)
She will settle in time. good luck

Rose is trying to tell you something. Cats always have a reason for their actions.Of course, sometimes the reason is simply 'because they want to', but it is up to you to discover that reason. Since you got her as an adult, it is possible she misses her previous family. She does not understand why her world has been turned upside down, & she's calling her old family all night. If so, the only thing you can do is to make her feel as content with you as you can. If possible, take her into your bed with you, & give her lots of loving untill she settles down for the night. It may take a while the first few nights, but she should become more relaxed & accepting of her new home & family in pretty short order. If this is not the problem, you could try calling the humane soc. & getting any info. they have on her to explain what's going on. If all this fails, try your public library, or "Cat Fancy" magazine for further ideas. Good luck!

We are going through the same thing right now with a stray we took in. She's six months old (and pregnant) and is use to the life outside.
We've had to resort to locking her in a bedroom far away from ours at night. She has food, water and litter. It's the only thing we can do to get some sleep.
She doesn't seem upset in the morning when we let her out.

She could be in heat, even if you've had her spayed. Sometimes the surgeon misses a small amount of tissue and the cat continues to go into heat. It can be fixed easily by a little more surgery. It is not normal for a cat to meow incessantly like that. Check with your vet.

talk to her as much as you can while you are awake, and play peek a boo too. Sweet Pea, my cat, and I would play peek-a-boo (running around corners and hiding and finding each other) and then I would play copy cat with her. She was a real chatter box. So she would "meooRaaarrrahhhr" and I would do it back at her, and sound just like her. so she would get tricky and say "mea" - real quick - as if I would n't be abl to copy that. and i would copy her. And she would go on and on trying to do real difficult versions of "meow" - so I could not copy cat her. I miss her so much, I think I always will. But anyway, it is worth a try. Sweet Pea would have talked all night too, but we played alot and I think maybe it put her to sleep at night more than If we would not have played. just remember... your cat is not complaining when it "meows" - your cat is chit chatting.....

Cats are nocturnal by nature. You will have to retrain her.
Keep her in at night, let her meow, and don't keep getting up to let her in or out.
Maybe you could install a cat door so that she can let herself in and out.

Don't let her sleep during the day then she'll have to sleep at night.

Bring it in to sleep with you. I think normally they just want attention. Good luck with that

i would suggest removing the cats tounge, this the most humane way to fix this problem, it can be done relativly easily at home, but i would suggest having the vetrinarian do it because they have access to anasthetics, where you will be forced to rely on whatever drugs you are currently taking, or worse, rely on local drug dealers to supply you. i do not recomend this for all the obvious legal standpoints. hope this helps

She is probably still trying to adjust to her surroundings. Use catnip or felliway to calm her down >
