How To Determine The Sex Of a Kitten
Now that you are about to pick out a kitten from the shelter you will surely want to know what sex it is. I have seen many tiny kittens with names such as Tommy or Rex or Brutus who actually were female! You should see the look on the faces of the kitty's owners when I have to tell them the truth. Misty, Sheba and Twinkle were actually male kitties, too, and most of the time as soon as the owners found out the true sex of their pal, they changed it's name immediately!
It can be difficult to determine the sex of cats especially if there is no other kitten with which to compare the anatomy. In most litters there will be both male and female kittens and sex determination is easy. Take a look at the photos below and it will make determining the sex of a kitten much easier. Then choosing a name will be easier, too!

Brutus, Twinkle Toes and Rex...
or is it Twinkle Toes, Rex and Mindy? Or Max, Bob and Big Mike?
Visit your local animal shelter to see kittens and older cats that need good homes. And shelters always can use volunteer help, too!
In female kittens, the urinary orifice and anus are close together If you have both sexes available, contrasting the two can be helpful. The space between the anus and urinary tract opening in the male is greater than the distance in the female. In male kittens the urinary orifice and anus are not close together and an undeveloped scrotum may be visible.

i was told from a vet that its difficult to tell before 12 weeks. this is obviously true as a friend of mine is a vet nurse and she sexed my kittens at 6 weeks. i never looked myself afterwards before they went to their new homes but they both turned out to be different to what she had said. i wish i had looked now myself as i would have known as they were 12 weeks when they left. it didn't bother their new owners though so that was a good thing

Check this website and there are 2 pictures, close ups of kitty privates, age 8 weeks. This picture should be a good guide to discovering the gender of your new little kittens.

When they are about 6 weeks old, male cat's testicles become more prominant. Before then, look under their tail, if you see two holes, it;s a female (anus and vagina), if you see one and a bulge, it's a male.

Just look under the tail. If what you see looks like this : it is a male. If it looks like this ; it is a female.
