Hi there Cheryl, I am sorry you are having this issue with your new kitten.
It is likely she is feeling very stressed and overwhelmed, both at being rehomed and being away from her mum and siblings, but also at sharing her territory with a new cat.
We need to ensure the cats are apart from now, and then use a technique to gradually introduce them over the course of a few weeks.
This is a nice explanation:
The kitten should have all of her own resources and lots of space. She needs a bed and a few hiding spots where the older cat cannot go.
I'm a big fan of the Feliway friends plug in, which can be used to calm the kitten and reduce tension.
