Hey,
We had the same problem with a kitten we got from the SPCA. She was very dehydrated, and for the first few days she didnt want to drink or eat so we got a little eyedropper and forcefully made her drink and gave her some food. We were worried about her.
I'm about 99% sure the reason was that the kitten was just stressed about the changing surroundings. We just made sure she had plenty of fresh food (try wet food, they will usually eat that before dry food - but make sure to ween it off of it so they dont "only" eat wet food, that is a pain!). I think the kitten will come around in a day or so.
They should naturally eat when they get hungry enough; if it doesn't in a few days I would take it to the vet because it has more problems than just stress about changing surroundings.
Good luck!
