sorry if this seems long but best I say the whole story.

5 weeks ago a cat wandered into my daughters house, she was sat on the top of the freezer the weekend I stayed over. she has 2 cats and 2 dogs so asked if ok to feed her. yeah course she said. she ate like it was the first food in a while. she came back for the next 3 nights for food. on the 4th night she just stayed. we took her to the vets to get her checked out, she told us she was around 12 months old and was having kittens and could give birth within the next 2 weeks with perhaps 2/3 kittens. we were due to go on hols 3 weeks later so she took her to her dads who said he would care for her while we were away. in the end she went 5 weeks and had 5 kittens. now my question is, the kittens are now a week old, at what age can we move them to my house. I have more time and am about more to help them but dont want to do anything that will endanger either mum or the kittens. she is a lovely cat and seems to be a great mum.

we did find a message posted on the net regarding a missing tortie which sounded so much like slinky, missing within 2 miles of debs home (thats wot we called her cos of the way she was when she arrived) but they never replied to our text or email. their loss sad to say cos she is such a lovely lady.

thanks for any help you can give.
