We recently rescued 4 kittens that are 6 weeks old. They are all very healthy and are all brothers. My mom is only allowing us to keep 2, which means we will have to separate them. (we are taking the other two to the Humane Society) Will this be very traumatic for the kittens at this age?
Thanks for any help!

not at all traumatic.
the kittens will adjust within days
as will the ones going away.
cant you give them to some one else
sounds better than jail or an execution

actually I am very glad you are taking them to the Humae Society rather than trying to find them homes on your own - very few "free to good home" kittens actually do find "good" homes...
anyhow -ok NO it will not be traumatic.. they will forget about the others relatively quickly, its more traumatic for mom cat to have her kittens taken from her.. I am wondering where mom is?? she should go to the Humane Society too.. or you should keep her instead of one of the kittens because she wont have much hope at getting adopted...
anyhow most important thing is to vaccinated and deworm the ones you are keeping and spay or neuter when they are old enough

I don't believe this will be traumatic, since at this stage the kittens are intterested only in nursing. It would be great if you can find someone to take the other two but given to a loving home these kittens would adopt a new mommy and wil be alright.

As a constant at a cat shelter/recue, I see this all the time. Some cats will be just fine, and others will have seperation anxiety, which will fade after time. If you want, try seperating the 3 that are going from the others, and see how they react. Also, try and take them to a cat rescue or a shelter. The likely hood of them finding good homes you would feel confident with are a tad higher. Good Luck

nicely as you are able to seperate them and rehome them from the mummy at 8 weeks old, see you later as theyre ingesting and wholesome by technique of that aspect, i dont see why it should be any differnet from orphans...yet in case you men basically happend upon kittnes, and took them without being one hundred% that there mom wasnt somwhere round that turned right into a foul bypass.. as there immune gadget isn't totally funtional are will be more effective liable to ailment... in the adventure that they were got here across they ought to were left on my own, yet as you didnt aspect out the words on which they were 'rescued' i will not say that that became what occurred... yet when theyre appearing generally like each and every 8 wk old kitten they're typically rehomed on the instantaneous..kittens dont extremely favor their siblings as a lot aas they favor their mom.. its not the siblings that are mandatory to keep mutually for a particular lenght of time so as quickly as theyre waiting for brand new houses, they're going to be high-quality.. we were given one in all ours at 6 weeks after she became laready ingesting moist food and making use of the muddle container.. saying 12 weeks is rediculous notwithstanding as they dont even favor to be around the mummy for that lol

No, it should go ok. However, if you post a sign in your neighborhood, "free kittens to a good home": they might be better off. Most humane societies kill them due to over breeding. Make sure to get the other 2 nuetered, PLEASE!

This is what happens to kittens and puppies. They were not meant to live in the family unit forever. They will be fine!
