Default crying cat outside, what to do?

Good morning:

Chelle here.

Several weeks ago I trapped a medium sized to small gray tabby/white mix male.
He was
neutered, rabies shot, combo test negative. He bit the vet and was put in
rabies observation
for 10 days. I took him home and put him in a cage since I had two others in
the same room
with him, one who was sick and the other who was very dominant and may have
started a
fight. Medium sized dog crate covered with a blanket. He went used the box,
and on the third
day I noted much less stool in the box. He would not drink much. He would not
eat at all. I
put him back outside at 11:30 p.m. near my portch. I tried lots of stuff to
get him to eat, but
the vet said he would be in danger if he did not eat for more than 3 days. 2.5
weeks later he came back to my house. I feed him, but he is still very
frightened. He is not a dominant cat and is not a good food competitor. He
spends a few hours a day lounging around my portch, and he
cries so very much. I can't see any open wounds, broken extremities, he moves
well and runs
without a limp. Any ideas on what he would want with all the crying? All my
inside cats are fixed. He is fixed.
