Poor kitty! If she is vomiting and not eating or drinking, this is a serious problem - even if the problem began because of stress, she will quickly become dehydrated if this continues. I would recommend having her examined by a vet as soon as you can - he/she can do blood work and x-rays if needed to find out what's wrong and get her started on IV fluids and other supportive care if needed.

Cats are very tricky when it comes to not eating. They can only go for a short time before serious health concerns can arise. If it had been longer than 24 hours, then I would suggest seeing a very about this for sure.

Cats that don't eat for 2-3 days are at risk of serious liver related complications. The vomiting can lead to dehydration which will complicate matters. The stress of the move does not make things easier. Try withholding food for 12 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet (boiled boneless skinless chicken breasts and plain white rice) in small, frequent amounts. To get her eating, serve it warm or mix in a teaspoon of baby food. Once she's eating regularly, transition slowly to the regular diet. Pheromone products such as Feliway spray may decrease anxiety. If she doesn't start eating in the next 24 hours, have her examined by your veterinarian.
