My cat hardly eats

We recently took in a 2.5 year old male Turkish Angora cat who had been abandoned by previous owners and was living alone in an apartment for 8 months. Neighbour was putting food (free feeding) for him and cleaning litter during this time. We took him in on 7th September, bringing him from his residence to our home - a 3 hour drive. Four days later he was adopted by a family and went to live with them. But then returned him a couple days later as their child developed allergies to his fur. Three days after he returned to our home, we took him to the vet to be neutered. It's been a week since his neutering, and while he is recovering fine, he has hardly eaten over the past two weeks, nibbling a few bites of dry cat food (he only eats dry food). He was 5.2kgs when the vet weighed him 2 weeks ago, but this morning the weighing scale showed 4.8kgs. The vet said he is healthy, and seems so, but just his scarce eating has us worried.
