I agree whole-heartedly with all of the prior posts but something else to think about is that maybe he's a very vocal little boy. When we brought our little girl home about a year ago she would meow all the time. At first I thought something was wrong and then I realized she's just a talker. It may sound like crying because he's still so young. I would say follow all of the advice above and also try talking back to him. Use a low, reassuring voice and just talk to him a lot. He may just be feeling a little lonely.

It will take time for the kitten to adjust, we also have a new kitten and at first he hissed and was very defensive, he was a stray we rescued, well now he plays and has a good time, and he sure does let me know when he is hungry. The day after he came home it turned bitter cold out and this little kitten would have not survived. We are so happy to have a new furry friend. Give your kitten lots of love and attention, and be very gentle, in time he will come around. Congradulations on your new best friend.

Have you got a nice enclosed bed for him? An igloo or the like? Put a stuffed toy in it for him to snuggle up to.
Is his bed in a room away from the hustle and bustle of the household? Too much noise and movement can be upsetting. New arrivals need to be in a room away from everyone and be allowed to discover the house bit by bit. He can get lost otherwise.
A kitten needs to feel secure and safe and quiet when he first comes home. If you dont have a semi enclosed or enclosed bed for him, you can put his bedding in a cardboard box - with a teddybear.
Is his bed away from draughts? Kittens, like babies, do feel the cold.
As long as his bed is in a quiet spot, nicely enclosed, with a teddy bear and is out of draughts he will settle down.
Maybe even get a large crate to put his bed, etc in and cover it over completely at night so that he feels nice and secure. Burmans can be stress heads.

Lock the kitten interior the bathing room with a muddle field and nutrition and water while you're long gone. If it has finished variety of the abode it gets lost. additionally it particularly is "speaking" to you by using fact it particularly is excited. maximum kittens meow plenty. shop it interior the bathing room once you're no longer abode and while you're slumbering. additionally provide it something delicate and heat that smells such as you, consisting of a pillow you have slept on, or a blanket. That way they'd be around your scent each and every of the time and get greater aquainted. as quickly because it starts utilising the litterbox each and every of the time, you could end locking it up. It sounds stupid, yet I foster kittens for the Humane Society, and those steps artwork a hundred% of the time.

Why not buy a blanket or use old jumper etc give it to the owners of the mother cat and let her sleep on it etc just to get her scent, then bring the jumper back and put it in your kittens sleeping area so she can smell her mum this way she might feel more safe and comfortable, maybe thats why shes crying.
If he's not drinking trying using one of those mini feeding bottle with milk in, to imitate the mothers nipple.

He's 12 weeks he's going to cry for a bit because he's away from mama and everything is new to him. Try getting something furry and warm and something like a vibration for him, give him a few days to get used to you and the house and everyone around him. If he doesn't calm down in a few days try taking him to the vet or back to his mama.

Hes missing his family. Give him a stuffed toy about his size, so he can think its his sibling. He will eventually stop once he gets used to the new home.And if he doesnt stop within a few days, take him to vets to see if theres any physical reason for it.

12 weeks is the minimum amount of time that a kitten can be seperated from the mother... it might be too soon for him. Really its probably just in shock of where he is and needs time to adjust.

He's just getting used to his new environment. He'll settle down in a day or two. Don't worry
