Eight weeks is usually good, but the longer they stay with mama the better. They can develop social problems with other felines if they are taken away before kitty cat attiquet is learned. Personally, I recommed 10-12 weeks.

I have had cats for almost 30 years and I have alot of books on cat care. Here's what one of them say about kittens: A kitten younger than 8 weeks old should never be separated from their mothers. They have not been properly weaned yet. If your kitten isn't taking any interest in it's surroundings, be wary. When not sleeping or nursing, they should be playing, exploring, and running around as much as they can. Make sure the kitten you chose can walk and run without interference as well.
Hope this info helps!

8-10 weeks. If they are removed early then they can develop anxiety issues and might not be sure how to act as they haven't learnt everything from the mumma cat yet. We found an abandoned kitten when she looked to be 4-5 weeks old and we've had a few problems with her as she didn't want to part with us. She also nuzzled into my hair like she would with her mummy. She's getting better but I still wonder how she would have been if she was just a few weeks older.

Most county/city laws say 8 weeks or older, but laws are different everywhere. Check with you vet to find out what the legal age in your county/city is. Some people will turn you in for giving your kittens away too early.

i'm so sorry on your loss. there's a poem interior the positioning i'm offering a link to which you're able to desire to desire to recite on your daughter on the acceptable time. i desperate to objective and discover out the viability of the FeLV virus interior our surroundings till now making any innovations. touch and unfold is by and great through intimate touch; sharing nutrition dishes and mutual grooming. no longer by skill of the virus being around. however the virus can stay achievable for greater then purely some hours, so which you do need to make helpful the section they spent are thoroughly wiped clean, including any bedding or dishes, clutter container, and so on. a pair weeks could desire to be adequate to permit any virus to die. And it may desire to take that long till now you come across a suitable adoption from a preserve. My purely suggestion is to look upon a clean kitten as merely a clean kitten, and don't attempt searching for a kitten that fits the two Rain or devil. merely that difference in thinking makes a great difference.

8 weeks at the least, but I always go for around 10-11 weeks of age because you want to make sure that they are totally ready before you give them away. Have fun until they are inbetween 8 and 11 weeks!

It's best to give them away early in my opinion, the longer you wait the more attached the kittens will become to the mother.

If the mom is still nursing them, wait at least until they are 7 -12 weeks. My vet said about 10 weeks would be ok.
