First time cat owner need help with kitten
Pookie:
One thing I did to help my furkids get used to me (at least, I think it helped), is I would make purring sounds. I would just sit on the floor and "purr."

Rescue Remedy is a calming supplement you can add to her water or food, you might have luck with that too.

Rescue Remedy! That's the name I couldn't remember. I thought it was essential oils though. Doh1
Middle Child:
Rescue Remedy for pets is an herbal mixture but not essential oils

You might also want to tell her something like, I know you're scared and confused right now, and you miss your old home, and that's okay. This is your new home now, and you're safe and loved here. Everything's going to be ok.
From her point of view, she doesn't understand what happened or why. All she knows is that she's no longer with her family, etc. Saying something like the above may help. They really do understand.
